SUMMER SESSION
Ames, Iowa
June 17 to July 26, 1912
Hall of Agrici lti rk
The Summer Session of this college recently established by the State
Board of Education is for the purpose of placing at the service of the people
of the State an institution provided by their generosity for the advancement
of scientific and practical learning.
There are three great fields of activity now occupied by the Land Grant
Colleges of our country; viz., Instruction, Experimentation and Extension.
The policy of all-the-year-round service to the people has long been estab-
lished in Experimentation and Extension. Instruction, though the first es-
tablished, is the last to adopt this sound educational and economic policy of
utilizing the plant, equipment, organization and faculty for the benefit of
those who can best attend during the summer season.
Laboratories, live stock, libraries, grain, field plots, museums, orchards,
forests, machinery, and the other superior facilities used by the regular
college students will be available for the summer session.
Conferences on teaching industrial subjects and on rural life conditions
and methods will be had from time to time. Methods of administration
and teaching industrial subjects will be given by those fresh from experi-
ence in the actual problems.
The practical and yet scientific methods which have given the institu-
tion a unique place in education will be utilized for the benefit of those who
can attend during the summer session.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Any one who desires may attend on payment of the fee.
The general courses for which no college credit is given are open to
any persons who feel that they can obtain value from them. The better
one is educated through schooling and experience the more helpful the
courses will be, but no one interested need hesitate, for the eminently prac-
tical character of the work will make it valuable to interested persons of
even average preparation.
The college credit courses are open to those who are presumably pre-
pared to do the work well. A record is kept the same as in regular college
classes but actual credit will not be given toward a college degree until the
student lias satisfied college entrance conditions which may be done at any
time. The records of that student made in college courses given during the
Summer session will then be transferred to the regular college records for
a degree.
County Superintendents who wish to have a better knowledge of these
Industrial Subjects, in order to more ably and successfully perform their
duties as educational leaders in the present movement for better and more
practical education in our rural schools.
City Superintendents and High School Principals and Teachers
who wish to make the Agricultural and Home Economics work successful
under t he State A id law.
Those who expect to teach Agriculture or Home Economics in high
Sehoolf next year.
City Superintendents, High School Principals, and Teachers who
wish to know more about Agriculture and Domestic Science in order to place
their High Schools on the accredited list of schools to receive the $500 state
;ii<l offered under the law.
City Superintendents and Principals who wish to put some practical
nature study in their grades or who wish to put some agriculture in their
High Schools to serve the needs of their Agricultural Communities.
City Superintendents, Ward Principals, and Teachers who wish to
forward among their City patrons the great movement for gardening, poul-
try raising, and care of trees, lawn, and flowers.
Rural Teachers who see their great responsibility for teaching their
pupils elementary agriculture and home economics, but who cannot do so
because of their own lack of preparation.
Superintendents, Princpials, and Science Teachers who wish to com-
plete a college course in Agriculture and thus be of larger service by filling
some of the positions in Normal schools and Colleges requiring men of
teaching experience and Scientific Agricultural Education and that cannot
now be properly filled.
Men and women who wish a course in Manual Training that will fit
them to conduct this work in City Schools or in Eural Schools.
Under-graduates who w T ish by Summer work to become better adjusted
to the sequence of work in their courses or who for sufficient reason find it
necessary to complete their college course at an early date.
House Keepers who would like a
course in Home Work under the most favor-
able and pleasant circumstances.
Ministers and Christian Workers
who desire to be abreast of the times on
these subjects that are of much interest to
their constituencies.
Business and Professional Men and
Women of all kinds who wish to improve
their knowledge of any phase of scientific
or practical agriculture.
Any who wish to take Music all or a
part of the time.
Everybody who wishes a delightful out-
Campus View i n g a t an institution well known for the
scientific and practical quality of its work, the excellence of its equipment
and the sylvan beauty of its campus and surroundings and at the same time
wishes to pursue chosen lines of work under expert instruction.
FACULTY
The Summer Session Faculty will consist of the members of the regular
College Faculty, and also specialists from other institutions who through
preparation and experience are especially prepared to render efficient service
to their classes.
LECTURES
There will be day and evening lectures given by members of the faculty
and others prominent in education and rural sociology. Special lectures will
be given on the pedagogy of industrial education from time to time. Dur-
ing rural life week men of unusual ability will be present. These lectures
will be free to members of the Summer Session.
CONFERENCES
In addition to the work under
' ' Methods ' ' in the program of the
general course in Agriculture, other
conferences will be called from time to
time to meet the needs that arise and
in accordance with the wishes of the
members. A large degree of democ-
racy will be observed in planning this
work the active cooperation of the
students being solicited in bringing
forward for consideration topics that

RURAL LIFE WEEK
June 24 to 30 Inclusive
The rural problem has ceased to be an individual problem and is now
a great sociological problem. As such it is of deep interest to all who are
concerned with public welfare.
During the second week of the Summer School special conferences will
be held upon Rural Life. Prominent men and women interested in this
work will give lectures and many conferences will be held. There will be
two regular courses of lectures offered. Dr. Hibbard will offer a course
of six lectures on Rural Sociology in its general aspects and Dr. Warren
H. Wilson will offer a course of six upon Rural Conditions in relation to
religious life.
Dr. Hibbard is Head of the Department of Economics and Civics at
Auks and has given special attention to those conditions affecting the rural
lif<- of America and particularly of Iowa.
Dr. Hibbard was called into the service of the government for special
expert work for a year in connection with the last Federal Census and will
give ns the benefit of that experience.
Dr. Wilson is Superintendent of the Department of Church and Coun-
try Life of the United States Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian
Church, and Iowa is fortunate in procuring his services for this important
conned ion.
Rev. W. B. McNutt formerly Pastor at Plainfield, Illinois, will also be
with us. Those who heard him last year here, can bear testimony to the
worth of his message.
We also hope to have with us to assist in this work Rev. Richmond A.
Smith, who was with us last year and who now has charge of the field work
in this State for the Baptist Church. Other ministers and Y. M. C. A. work-
ers who have had actual experience in the rural field will be present.
In addition to the regular Courses of lectures there will be daily con-
ferences and several evening lectures. On Sunday, June 30, there will be
special Church Services with a sermon on some phase of the rural situation.
As the lectures and conferences will not occupy the entire day, all are
urged to take advantage of the spare time to take work in the classes in
Agriculture and Home Economics in operation at the time. Ministers and
other christian workers will find the Agricultural work offered in Courses
The Farm House, A Landmark Erected in 1865
S. 1 and S. 2 described elsewhere in this pamphlet, to be extremely practical
in giving them knowledge of Agriculture that will be helpful in their work.
They are invited and urged to take the entire Course.
The titles of Dr. Wilson 's lectures are as follows :
Lecture (1) — "The Pioneer and the Household Farmer Types of Coun-
try Church. ' '
Lecture (2) — "Farm Speculation, Retired Farmers, Renters and the
Country Church. ' '
Lecture (3) — "Organized Husbandry and Organized Religion."
Lecture (4)— "The Village the Goal of Country Life."
Lecture (5) — "The Church and the Community. "
Those interested should write Dean C. F. Curtiss, Ames, Iowa, for a
special program.

EXCURSIONS, PICNICS, SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS
Saturday forenoon, June 22, will he occupied by regular class work in
the general courses. Students in these courses will be free on other Satur-
days for study, special investigation of certain work and experiments or for
excursions to the Dairy Farm, Poultry farm, Museums, Plant Breeding plots,
Soils, Experimental Plots, Forestry Plots and others. Explanations will be
made of problems being solved and the methods used.
Along Squaw Creek
Some of the College Credit Courses will include work on Saturday.
This is sometimes made necessary by the number of hours required to com-
plete the course.
Parties can be organized at anytime by the students and faculty to en-
joy basket picnics and suppers in the North woods, at Rookwood (Professor
Curtiss' farm) or on the Campus.
RELIGIOUS SERVICE
The various denominations will have regular morning and evening ser-
vices including Sunday School in their Churches in Ames.
A special service for dune 30 will be provided.
If desired arrangements will be made for some Conferences regarding
Y. .M. C. A. work in public schools and rural communities.
These conferences will be held as arranged in Alumni Hall and will be
in Charge Of Rev. .1. I'. Clyde, Secretary of the College Y. M. C. A.
REST AND STUDY ROOMS
In tlie Hall of Agriculture, Dairy Building, Home Economics and
Central Buildings where most of the classes will be held, rooms will be
designed as rest and study rooms to which students may retire at any time
during the day.
LIBRARY
The Agricultural Library in the Hall of Agriculture is supplied with
the best books, bulletins, reports and agricultural papers and will be at the
disposal of Summer school students both as a consulting and reading room.
*i^ -rr*
A Campus Walk
The general college library in Morrill Hall will also be open for Sum-
mer school students.
CERTIFICATES
The Registrar will furnish certificates to those who complete any course
or courses, when requested to do so.
PRIVATE CONSULTATION
Opportunity will be offered for conferences with members of the college
faculty on topics of special interest to individual students.
SPORTS AND GAMES
The college baseball grounds and tennis courts will be available for use
of the Summer School students. Those having their own equipments for
10
those games should come prepared to play. It may be possible to organize
teams in other games.
FEES
The enrollment fee for all members of the Summer Session will be $5.00
for the six weeks. There will be no laboratory fees for the General Course
in Agriculture.
There will be a fee of $3.00 in the General Course in Home Economics
to partially cover the cost of materials furnished, with a pro rata arrange-
ment for any not taking the full course. The fees for the various college
credit courses will be the same as for the College year and are shown in the
descriptions of the courses.
ROOMS AND BOARD
Alumni Hall will accommodate a few roomers. A number of Fraternity,
Sorority and Club houses will be available, some of them for rooms only
and some for both rooms and meals. The College cafe in Alumni Hall will
furnish meals to all regular boarders at $4.50 per week the same rate charged
our college students throughout the year. A list of approved rooming and
boarding houses is being prepared and students will be directed to these on
arrival and every assistance rendered in procuring satisfactory locations.
Some places can probably be offered for less than $4.50 per week, but it is
well to be comfortably situated that you may get the largest returns from
the Summer school session.
ALUMNI HALL
Alumni Hall, the home of the Young Men's and Young Women's
Christian Associations, will be open at all times for the use of the Summer
School students. Its reading rooms, game rooms, parlors and assembly
rooms are always open and you are heartily welcome to frequent them at
your pleasure. The use of the large swimming pool and shower baths may
be had during the entire term on the payment of one dollar. The pool will
be kept in perfect sanitary condition, and will be a source of delightful rec-
reation during the warm weather. A schedule of houis will be arranged
for the use of these baths by men and women.
LOCATION
Auks is almost at the geographical center of the State of Iowa on the
main lino of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. It is about thirty-five
miles north of Dos Moines with which it is connected by a branch line of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and by the Fort Dodge, Des Moines
and Southern (interurban) running from Port Dodge and Rockwell City to
Des Moines. A branch of 1 ho Chicago & Northwestern from Ames pene-
trans i he northern pari of the State. Ames is proverbially a clean town,
saloons ami billiard hulls being unheard of.
The College is over a mile out bu1 is coi cted by ; lectric car Line
with frequent service.
Th<- College I ampus is siid by those who have traveled much to be the
11
most beautiful one in the United States. A gentleman, himself a college
president who had visited all of the great colleges in America and many in
Europe, said its buildings and Campus were unequalled. June is one of the
best months in the year to enjoy its tranquil splendors.
STATE ASSOCIATION OF INDUSTRIAL TEACHERS
During the Summer Session there will be formed one or more State
Associations of those concerned in teaching the Industrial Subjects. Come
with some ideas of the best plans, especially as to whether there should be
separate organizations of the teachers of Agriculture, Home Economics,
and Manual Training or whether there should be one organization to include
all.
STATE AIDED HIGH SCHOOLS
For many years educators have longed for State aid to high schools
that would perform some distinct service to the cause of education. The
last legislature was very generous and granted $500 annually to those main-
taining . suitable courses for the preparation of rural teachers specifying
that such courses must contain work in Agriculture and Home Economics.
The coming year will see ninety such high schools in Iowa. To supply these
schools with teachers who have had full four year college courses in Agri-
culture and Home Economics is an educational and economical impossibility
though a neighboring state is rapidly doing so.
To meet the Iowa situation it will be necessary to take teachers who
were farm reared and have since had a Normal school or college education
which included good courses in the general sciences and then prepare them
as rapidly as possible in Scientific Agriculture. If this is not done the
Agriculture in Iowa high schools will degenerate into the teaching of a book
on agriculture which brings ill repute upon the high school, the teacher, the
subject and the law and if continued will probably result in the withdrawal
of the State aid; for the public is thoroughly aroused to the desirability
of having this taught in a practical manner. The legislature has done its
part. It now remains for the teachers to do theirs. To enable them to do
so this institution stands ready to aid in every way possible.
The General Course (SI) has been arranged purposely to meet this
need and all who are to teach Agriculture in Iowa high schools next year
are urged to take advantage of it. Every other aid in addition to the reg-
ular course that can be given to such teachers will be offered freely. Texts,
Methods, Apparatus, Courses of study, libraries, field work, experiments,
etc., will be discussed.
MEN WANTED
The demand for farm reared men of normal school or college training
or both and with a full course in Agriculture is immeasurably beyond the
supply at salaries as high as $3,000.
The department of Agricultural Education of this college has had calls
for such men since January 1st, 1912, to fill positions in the normal schools
of nine states and has had no suitable men to recommend. Several State
12
Agricultural Colleges are still looking for such men to take positions in
Extension Departments or in Professional Departments of the College. No
suitable men are now available. Several Iowa School men are planning to
take summer college work until nearly through and then take a continuous
year and be ready for some of these good positions. More should do so
for it will take some years to supply the demand and the demand will
increase.
The Department of Agricultural Education was established at Ames
one year ago to offer a suitable course for such men. Catalog will be sent
you on request.
The graduates from the other regular four year courses of agriculture
who desire to teach are all being located for next year to teach in high
schools at from $1,200 up and most of these men have never taught. One
Ames graduate has been teaching agriculture in Minnesota high school the
past three years at $1,400, $1,800 and $2,000 respectively and next year
his salary will be $2,500. We shall give you the benefit of his experience
during the summer school.
Bequests come to us from nearly every state in the Union from Porto
Eico, the Philippines and elsewhere to furnish men and we can in no meas-
ure supply the demand. If you are a successful teacher and desire to enter
that field we shall be glad to aid you. Teaching Agriculture does not unfit
a man for business but prepares him even better for farming for himself,
managing a large farm or ranch, or for entering the field of Commercial
Agriculture such as Machinery, Drainage, Irrigation or development work
with large corporations. The dead line of age retirement recedes a long
distance when one's educational career touches elbows with the business
world.

COURSES
There will be two Kinds of Courses offered : Those of a general nature
for which no college credit is given and others consisting of regular college
courses for which college credit is given. Full explanation is given of each
below :
GENERAL COURSES
Course S 1. Agriculture. This is a general course in Agriculture
which is planned to give the elements of each part of the subject during the
six weeks. It is primarily intended for those who have prepared them-
selves for teaching other branches but who, owing to the introduction of
agriculture in the schools, now wish to prepare to teach that also. The
work is carefully planned to cover the ground of the general texts in agri-
culture in use in this and near-by states. This work wdll be given by the
regular college faculty and in the same scientific manner used in the regular
courses using laboratory and field work where practicable.
A special feature of this course is a series of lessons on the pedagogy
and administration of the work in public schools by those who from exper-
ience are able to give valuable instruction. For this we have engaged such
men as P. E. McClenahan, State Inspector of High Schools under the State
Board of Education, Fred L. Mahannah, Inspector of State Aid High
Schools, E. C. Bishop, formerly County and State Superintendent in Ne-
braska, now in charge of Public School Agricultural Extension work in this
college, and Theodore Sexauer, an Ames graduate and a leader in the re-
markable work being done in Agriculture in the high schools of Minnesota.
We also expect the services of other men equally capable. Opportunity
will be given for conferences regarding the solution of practical problems
connected with the introduction of Agriculture and Home Economics in the
schools.
The course is planned to occupy six hours a day of the student's time
for the entire six weeks. This includes the time spent in laboratories.
The following has been arranged as a
TENTATIVE PROGRAM: GENERAL COURSE
showing subjects, rooms, and hours of beginning recitations for each w T eek.

For a full description of the work to be taken in this course see the
outlines below :
FARM CROPS
The course in farm crops will be ar-
ranged so that the teacher will receive
much of the same work that the pupils
will be expected to get under his di-
rection later. This is done in order
that the teacher may have a direct
knowledge of what he is teaching.
Studies will be made in the class-
room, field, laboratory and the exper-
imental plots, of corn, wheat, oats,
barley, rye and legumes. This study
will include the selection, storing, test-
ing of the seed, the cultivation of the
soil to get the highest yields of each
of the crops, the field botany of each
of the cereals, and current practices
peculiar to the crops under consider-
ation.
In connection with these studies di-
rections will be given in regard to
methods to employ in presenting such
subjects to the school pupils. Exam-
ples of work done will be shown, and
the leading references which would be
profitable for use in the school room
will be used.
SOILS
The work in soils will direct the at-
tention of the student to some inter-
esting and fundamental facts regard-
ing the relation of soils to air, moist-
ure and heat; the way in which soils
supply growing plants with food ma-
terials, the nature of plant food, and
tlic influence of bacteria and legumes on soil fertility. The work will be
given principally by means of demonstrations and only such apparatus will
be used as can be easily obtained by any school, and almost without cost.
The necessity of h proper amount of air, heat, light, and moisture; factors
influencing the air and water holding capacity of various soils, the move-
ment of water through soils, the water removed by tile drains, methods
whereby Boil moisture may be conserved, and the influence of plant food on
various crops, are some of the many things which will be demonstrated.
17
METHODS
Agriculture, the newest of public school sciences, opens to the teacher a
new field of interesting and valuable work. It includes the home economic
and educational phases of the other applied sciences. The organization of
agricultural knowledge, the placing of agriculture in a form as definite as
that of the older sciences, and the application of established pedagogic prin-
ciples to its teaching is one of the live problems of today.
The course in methods will deal with the principles and practice of
methods especially as applied in the teaching of Agriculture, Home Econ-
omics and Manual Training. The work will be adapted to the needs of the
teacher, the supervisor and the school administrator. Round table discus-
sions will offer opportunity for the consideration of any related subjects.
The following topics will be included:
1. Courses of study in agriculture in high schools, grades and rural
schools. 2. The readjustment of elementary science teaching to agricul-
ture. 3. Organized correlation of agricultural topics. 4. The recogni-
tion and development of pedagogic values in the teaching of agriculture.
5. Uses of the text. 6. The economic, cultural and local interest phases.
7. Agriculture as a basic elementary high school science. 8. Agriculture
as a vocational, cultural ard economic subject, and as an earth science. 9.
Extension work. 10. Illustrated booklet woik, collections of seeds, weeds,
plants and other laboratory materials. 11. Field work and experimental
plots. 12. The agriculture of physics, chemistry, physical, commercial and
industrial geography, botany, zoology, economics, nature study and
psychology. 13. Judging work in J arm crops and farm animals. 14.
Teachers' helps, how to secure and use them.

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
Eecognizing the importance of familiarizing our teachers with Iowa's
most important industry, that of live stock, the department will offer a
series of lectures and demonstrations covering the feeding, study of breed
characteristics and the judging of domestic animals. Great care has been
observed in the outlining of the work so as to make it useful in the fullest
measure to our teachers. The teacher will not only receive instruction in
the way of furnishing information, but also be given helpful suggestions
as to best methods of outlining and teaching this work. This is a line of
work which can be made intensely interesting to every boy and girl in our
school work.
The college equipment for Animal Husbandry work is second to that
of no other institution in the world. The college cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep and many of them prize winners from the great shows of America
will be used in the class room for study. The oldest and most experienced
instructors will present this work.
FEEDS AND FEEDING
The lectures given on the subject of feeding farm live stock Avill be so
arranged as to cover the principles involved in the growth, feed and care of
cattle, swine, sheep and horses. All of the lectures will be in close con-
nection with the laboratory work given in the other Animal Husbandly
Courses.
PLANT PROPAGATION
A study of plant reproduction both sexually and non-sexually. Seeds,
storage, testing, germination, cuttage, graftage, and budding, including
simple laboratory exercises.
ORCHARD AND GARDEN
The development and care of
the orchard and garden includ-
ing cultural methods, varieties
for the Iowa planter, insect
and fungous pests, and meth-
ods of control. Planning and
planting of the home and school
grounds.
\ IRCIS8I s
WEEDS AND PLANT DISEASES
work will be given under two general heads: First
WEEDS
One of the most important problems confronting the Iowa farmer is
the question of weeds. The annua] loss to the farmer runs into the millions
of dollars. This can Largely be prevented it' the farmers have a belter
understanding of weeds and their kinds. The teachers of the state can do
19
a great' deal to bring knowledge to the farmers in their respective com-
munities.
The course in weeds will consist of lectures, and practical work in the
identification of the common weeds of Iowa, also the methods used in ex-
terminating them, how weeds are scattered through the purchase of seeds,
farm implements, animals, water, and other agencies. Practical work in the
field as well as the laboratory will be combined with the lecture work.
The second division of the work will be
PLANT DISEASES
Fungous pests of economic importance will be studied as follows: Classi-
fication briefly; means of identification; stages, both summer and winter;
life history in relation to temperature, moisture, sunlight, chemicals, insects,
etc. Simple laboratory exercises will be given which may be repeated in
the schools without expensive equipment.

Bred Two-Year Old Guernsey Heifer (Owned by College)
FARM DAIRY WORK
This course is outlined with the object in view of giving the public
school teachers such information as will be of value as well as interest to
them. The lectures will cover such subjects as secretion and composition of
milk; the value of milk for fat, acid and adulteration; ice cream making
on the farm, testing cows on the farm and farm butter making, etc. Work
in the laboratory will be given in milk testing and ice cream making.
POULTRY HUSBANDRY
The work in poultry will include those features which are best adapted
to use in public schools. The general principles of feeding, breeding, hous-
ing, incubating and rearing will be taken up during the first week of the
session.
20
The exercises covered will be such as are treated of in general Agricul-
tural texts, for example, studies of ' ' Types of feathers and feather mark-
ings, " " Breed characteristics, ' ' " Plan of a Poultry house, ' ' ' ' Poultry
house appliances, " " Study of Incubators and Brooder construction, " " The
Anatomy of the Egg, ' ' ' ' Embryology of the chick. ' '
Course S 2. This is a general course for farmers and business and
professional men and women who wish to get a general knowledge of the
fundamentals of agriculture from the combined scientific and practical
points of view. The course will be practically the same as Course S 1,
excepting the work in Methods for which other practical work may be
substituted.
Course S 3. Homemakers' Course covers a general outline in cook-
ing and sewing, which is especially adapted for application in the home.
The cooking will include lectures and laboratory work in food preparation,
serving of meals, home nursing and invalid cooking. Sewing will cover
discussions of materials and uses of same. The practical work will be the
cutting, fitting and finishing of garments. A definite course is planned and
it is desired that all students enter with the idea of completing the de-
scribed work.
MANUAL TRAINING
Course S 10. This work will have for its general object the preparation
of teachers for manual training as taught in the best public schools. Three
lines of work will be taken up, namely: shop instruction, mechanical draw-
ing, and general lectures on the history and organization of manual training
departments, and on methods of giving manual training instruction.
In the shop work, the use and care of tools, working from blue prints,
value and availability of materials, finishing, and similar topics will be con-
sidered. Sets of exercises will be presented, and, so far as time permits,
will be made by the students.
The instruction in mechanical drawing will be co-ordinated to that in the
shop work, and the object will be to fit teachers for giving instruction in
mechanical drawing in the public schools of the State. The drawing work
will be especially adapted to the needs of teachers whose pupils are of public
school age.
In the lecture work the educational and practical value of manual
training work will be considered, and suggestions given for equipping and
organizing manual training departments, and for arranging the work sys-
tematically in the best manner for securing satisfactory results in the public
schools.
The work will be of especial value, First: To public school teachers who
wish to prepare themselves for manual training, and Second: To students
who have already taken lip sonic shop work and technical drawing, and who
wish if) obtain the additional preparation needed to make their knowledge
available in teaching manual training under the conditions found in the
public schools.
Mr. A. I'. Laughlin, Supervisor of Manual Training for the Public
Schools of Peoria, Illinois, will have charge of this work. Mr. Laughlin has
21
the degree of A. B. from Oberlin College and M. S. from Ohio Wesleyan
University and has taken special work in Bradly Polytechnic Institute, Peoria,
Cornell University, N. Y., Lewis Institute, and Art Institute, Chicago. His
teaching experience covers works in the Janesville, Wisconsin, High School;
six years in Lyons Township High School, Cook County, Illinois; two years
in Moorehead State Normal School, Minnesota; and several years as Super-
visor of the Manual Training in Peoria; besides Normal classes at Lewis
Institute and Chicago Commons. Mr. Laughlin is a frequent contributor to
manual training literature and is distinctly a leader in his profession.
COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES
There are many who wish to take
some of the regular College Courses
either because of the intrinsic value of
the work to them in a practical way
or as a part of a regular College
Course to be completed later.

The courses described below are
the same as those offered during the
College year and will be taught by
the regular college faculty. The de-
scriptions are quoted from the regular
College Catalog (copy of which will be sent on request).
As the summer session is approximately one-third the length of a college
semester the number of hours per week devoted to a course in the Summer
Session will be three times what is shown in these descriptions below. About
eigteen hours per week constitutes full work in these college courses.
Classes will be conducted in each of these Courses if sufficient members
register to warrant.

GENERAL INFORMATION
General Statement. — Summer Session work was offered by the
Iowa State College for the first time in 1911. In that summer a
short course extending over two weeks was attended by about fifty
superintendents and high school teachers of the state. Since that
time the interest in agriculture and industrial subjects has in-
creased tremendously, not only in this state, but throughout the
United States. At the present time 19 states require the teaching
of agriculture in the public schools, and in many more of the states
agriculture is taught, especially in the high schools. In 1912 the
Summer Session was extended to six weeks, and had a total enroll-
ment of 128 students. The third Summer Session, last year, en-
rolled 225 students. These students came from 63 counties of the
state and 10 states of the Union. A large proportion of them were
teachers in the public schools. Teachers x in service can be helped
best through the Summer Session, and in a large measure, at least,
they have a right to the advantages of the unusual equipment of the
Iowa State College. This is especially true since the legislation
requiring the teaching of the industrial subjects in the public school.
No other institution in the middle west has a better selected faculty,
or more adequate equipment than the Iowa State College.
The distinctive feature of the Summer Session of 1914 is the
organization of the Rural and Grade Teachers' Course on a basis of
free tuition.
The work will be considerably extended along other lines, new
courses being offered in sufficient number to meet the demands of
regular college students and to carry forward the work of teachers
who have been attending previous Summer Sessions.
Who May Properly Attend. On account of the easy conditions
of entrance, many receive benefit from the Summer Session who do
not attend during the regular year. The following should be par-
ticularly interested in the Summer Session:
1. All teachers, or persons expecting to teach next year, may use
the Summer Session to secure work in the industrial subjects as
required by the recent legislation. Teachers in the elementary
schools will find profitable work in the Rural and Grade Teachers'
Course. High school teachers may secure strong work along particu-
lar lines as listed under college credit courses.
2. Superintendents, Principals, and Supervisors. The large num-
ber of superintendents and principals who have been enrolled in
the Summer Session in the past indicates clearly that it is serving
them to good advantage, and meeting a special need which they feel
for getting acquainted with the newer subjects of manual training
and agriculture, or of pursuing courses in agricultural education.
An examination of the Iowa Directory indicates that agriculture is
taught in the high schools of the state by the superintendents more
often than by any other single group. Beginning and advanced
courses are offered in the present session in soils, farm crops, animal
husbandry, dairying, agricultural engineering, horticlture, and in
the related subjects of rural sociology, agricultural economics, agri-
cultural education, botany, bacteriology, etc. The Summer Session
gives such superintendents and principals an opportunity to secure
work of a high character under regular college instruction and un-
der the most favorable conditions.
3. County Superintendents are offered a special program dur-
ing Rural Life week, but some are planning to be present for the
entire six weeks.
4. High School Graduates will find an opportunity to start the
college course or to satisfy entrance requirements. High school
graduates who think of entering the Iowa State College in the fall
of 1914 may take advantage of the Summer Session to become
acquainted with college methods and to secure work towards grad-
uation.
5. Regular Students in the Iowa State College may make up
back work, shorten their course by doing advanced work or in-
crease their electives.
6. Students in other colleges who are interested in the industrial
work and related lines will find other colleges willing to substitute
credits made at this institution.
7. Former Graduates may complete the necessary work in
psychology and agricultural education in order to secure the first
grade state certificate.
8. Any Mature Individual who gives evidence of ability to carry
the work with profit will be admitted without examination, but such
individual must satisfy the department concerned as to his ability
to carry the work.
9. Rural and Village Ministers will find especially valuable help
in the Rural Life Conference. Bankers, farmers, rural leaders,
mothers and daughters will find a welcome, an atmosphere of cul-
ture and inspiration, and practical help for their work.
Conditions of Admission. All students who can profit by the in-
struction offered will be admitted without examination. It is pre-
sumed that all applying for admission have a serious purpose, and
are interested in the industrial work. College credit will be granted,
however, only to those who meet standard entrance requirements.
Faculty. The Summer Session Faculty will consist of the mem-
bers of the regular College Faculty, and also specialists from other
institutions, who, through preparation and experience, are especial-
ly prepared to render efficient service.
Courses and Credits. A total of over fifty college credit courses
is offered, twenty of these are in agriculture. An average student
should be able to make from six to eight hours credit during a Sum-
mer Session. All courses offered are completed during the Summer
Session by increasing the number of recitations per week. There
are no split courses. A student desiring to carry more than eight
hours of college credit work will be required to make application
for permission to take extra work, application being countersigned
by all instructors involved.
General Courses. In the general courses students will be given
more freedom as to the number of hours to be carried, with this
proviso, that in case they desire certificates under the new legisla-
tion requiring twelve weeks of professional training, or increased
wages because of attending a Summer Session for six weeks, they
will be limited in the amount of work that can be carried according
to the regulations sent out by the State Board of Examiners. (See
legal requirements, p. 11).
Special Work. Students wishing to do advanced or other special
work not announced in this bulletin should communicate at an early
date with the Director of the Summer Session, or with the professor
in whose department they wish to work. Consideration may be
given to a sufficient number of requests.
Fees. The single Summer Session fee of $5.00 covers work in all
courses with the exceptions of the Music Department. The fee for
less than the full time is $1.00 a week, with $2.00 as a minimum.
Any laboratory fees are indicated in connection with the descriptions
of the courses. In the Rural and Grade Teachers' Course tuition is
free. No fee is charged for attendance at the Rural Life Conference.
Board. Women rooming in Margaret Hall will be furnished board
at not to exceed $4.00 a week. This will be reduced if the Hall is
tilled. The cafe in Alumni Hall will be open during the entire
Summer Session. Board may be obtained at a number of boarding
houses near the campus at rates which ordinarily prevail through-
out Iowa. Last summer a number of the boarding houses offered
board and room combined at $5.00 a week.
Rooms. Women will be accommodated in Margaret Hall to the
capacity of the Hall. Advanced reservation should be made by
writing to the Director of Summer Session. Early reservation is
advised.
Rooms in private homes and rooming houses about the campus
will be available, and in charge of a competent committee. Mr. J. P.
Clyde, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has agreed to take over this
work for the coming Summer Session, and give it the same thorough
attention which it receives during the regular college year. Prices
for private rooms for the Summer Session range from $1.00 to
$1.50 per week for each occupant. Usually this means two in a
room.
Expenses. Expenses will vary with the individual, but need not
exceed $40 or $45, in addition to car fare. This makes provision
for tuition, $5.00; room and board for six weeks, $30.00; books and
laundry, $5.00, and other incidentals.
Certificates. Students satisfactorily completing any of the general
courses offered in the six weeks' Summer Session will, upon request,
be given a certificate showing attendance and grades. Most teachers
will desire that attendance count toward the satisfaction of the
recent law requiring twelve weeks of professional training, or the
law giving certain credits for attendance at a six weeks' Summer
Session. Such teachers will be fully advised as to the law, and
certificate will be furnished accordingly.
The Rural and Grade Teachers' Course is so arranged that it
may be pursued with profit for four successive Summer Sessions.
At the completion of the course special certificate may be given.
Statement as to college credit work may be secured by application
to the Registrar.
Teachers' Examination. The examination for county uniform cer-
tificates will be held at the College in June for the benefit of stu-
dents who may desire to take it. Before leaving home a student
intending to take this examination should pay the fee to the county
superintendent and secure a certificate admitting to the examina-
tion.
The Appointment Committee. In order to better serve the
schools of the state, the faculty has provided a regular Appoint-
ment Committee, the duties of which are to assist the students of the
College who desire to enter educational work in finding the positions
for which they are best fitted, and to aid school officials in finding
the teachers, principals, supervisors and superintendents best pre-
pared for the positions to be filled. Students of the Summer Session
who intend to teach or wish to better their positions, are invited
8
to register with this committee. Blanks which are provided for
that purpose may be secured by calling at the office of the Director
of the Summer Session, room 318 Agricultural Hall. No fee is
charged for the services of this committee.
Meeting Residence Requirements for a Degree Through Summer
Session Work. Because of the largely increased attendance at the
Summer Session, provision has been made for the satisfying of resi-
dence requirements for a degree on the basis of four Summer Ses-
sions equalling one full academic year in residence. This will en-
able graduate students to complete the work for the Master's de-
gree by attending four consecutive Summer Sessions. It is possible
that the amount of work required for the degree may have to be
supplemented by work in absence, or by correspondence, but any
earnest student should be able to complete the work for a Master's
degree in four successive Summer Sessions by doing some outside
work.
Chapel. Chapel services are held Tuesday of each week from
7:40 to 8:00 o'clock A. M. This is more or less in the nature of a
convocation, as well as a chapel service, and furnishes opportunity
for announcements or for brief remarks upon subjects of immediate
interest.
Students' Mail. Students will avoid inconvenience by having their
mail addressed, temporarily at least, to Station A, Ames, Iowa. This
postoffice is located upon the College campus, and mail may be called
for conveniently.
Summer Employment. Students desiring summer employment
should make application to Mr. J. P. Clyde, Secretary of the Y. M.
C. A. Last summer there were many more calls for student help
than could be supplied.
Social Committee. The social committee, composed jointly of
faculty members and students, will arrange for at least one social
event each week. During past Summer Sessions these have been
thoroughly appreciated as opportunities for acquaintance and en-
joyment.
Excursions. A number of excursions are arranged during the
summer Session under the direction of a regular committee. So far
as possible these are scheduled for Saturday, so as to give all
students in the general courses, at least, an opportunity to take
advantage of them.
Recreation. While the primary object of the Summer Session
is work and study, yet these will be facilitated by a sufficient amount
of recreation. Students are urged to effect organizations and to
arrange for tournaments in tennis, baseball, track, or indoor work.
The Committee on Games and Recreation will encourage and help
in organizing the details of this work.
Special Lectures. A strong corps of special lecturers have been
secured for the Summer Session, among them, Honorable
P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Education; Dr. W. Franklin
Jones, of the University of South Dakota; Dr. Harold W. Foght,
Rural School Specialist of the Bureau of Education; Miss Mabel
Carney, author of the "Country School and Country Life;" Miss
Adelaide Steele Baylor, Deputy State Superintendent of Public In-
struction of Indiana. In addition to these and other special lec-
turers for which arrangements have already been made, it is pro-
posed to avail ourselves of the opportunity of securing a fair pro-
portion of the unusual talent that will be close at hand when the
National Education Association meets at St. Paul the first part
of July. The Rural Life Conference will bring to us other men of
national reputation, among them Dr. Luther H. Gulick, of New
York City, and Ernest Thompson Seton, Chief Scout of the Boy
Scouts of America.
The plan will be to have at least two or three public lectures
each week of the Summer Session. In addition to using outside
talent, more use will be made of the large force of specialists at
the Iowa State College. A definite schedule of public lectures will
be announced at the opening of the session.
Vocational Education and Vocational Guidance. Mrs. Anna L.
Burdick, of the West Des Moines High School, has spent a number
of summers in the east making special study of Vocational Educa-
tion and Guidance a& it has been developed in the eastern states,
particularly under Mr. Puffer and Mr. Bloomfield in Boston. It is
with pleasure that special lectures by Mrs. Burdick are announced
for the summer Session. She will be present during the entire
week beginning June the 2 9th, and will lecture daily before the
students and the Rural Life Conference. Typical subjects which
she will discuss are the following:
1. Vocational Education and Liberal Education.
2. Vocational Guidance and Opportunities for Vocational Edu-
cation.
3. The Foundations of Vocational Efficiency.
4. Appraisal of the Choice of a Vocational Typical Occupation.
5. The Farm Boy as a Vocational Problem.
6. Occupations open to Trained Women.
7. Systems of Vocational Guidance already in Operation.
The whole trend of legislation and of educational thought during
the last few years has been toward an increased attention to voca-
tional and industrial education. It is worth much in this connec-
tion to have an opportunity to hear from one who can speak
with authority.
The Model School. The popular, two-room, consolidated, Model
School will be continued, in charge of competent critic teachers.
Regular work in observation and methods will be offered for stu-
dents in the general courses, and the work of the model school will
be used in the regular college courses in agricultural education.
Courses offered in Agricultural Education will include Principles
and Methods of Education, Secondary Education, and School Ad-
ministration. This will enable us to serve directly the rural teacher,
the grade teacher, the agricultural high school teacher, and the
school administrator. While all of these courses are standard col-
lege courses, the emphasis is placed upon the development of agri-
cultural and industrial subjects in the school curriculum.
The Model School will be used for observation and demonstra-
tion purposes in connection with the work in didactics in the Rural
and Grade Teachers' Course.
Library. The Library of the Iowa State College will be open for
the use of Summer Session students. The Library consists of 45,000
volumes well distributed among the various departments, and pro-
viding a great deal of general matter in addition to the technical
works required by the various divisions.
The Library is well supplied with periodicals and dailies. The
number of magazines and periodicals is fully 500. There are 18
dailies, and about 150 local papers from different parts of Iowa.
There are papers from every county in Iowa. Personal assistance
will be given by the librarian and her assistants to any who desire
help in reference work.
10
The Agricultural Library in the Hall of Agriculture is supplied
with the best books, bulletins, reports and agricultural papers and
will be at the disposal of Summer School students both as a con-
sulting and reading room. No fee is charged for the use of the
reading rooms and the Library.
Equipment. The College grounds and farms contain over 1,400
acres. The larger portion is used for experimental farms, including
the dairy, poultry and soil experiment farms. About 200 acres is
set apart as a campus, upon which is located the buildings used for
instruction, administration, and residential purposes. Here also
are the various athletic fields. The natural beauty of the campus is
enhanced by the many driveways and walks, by carefully arranged
shrubs and trees, and by artistic landscape gardening.
Thirty-six commodious buildings have been erected by the state
for the exclusive use of the various departments of the College,
besides the dwelling houses and the buildings for farm stock,
machinery, and workshops. All of these buildings are lighted by elec-
tricity and supplied with pure water.
One who has never made a trip to the Iowa State College will
be surprised at the extensive and superior equipment. This is all
immediately serviceable in teaching the industrial subjects, and in
preparing teachers to meet the requirements of the new legislation.
The teachers of the state are entitled to the use of this equipment.
The Summer Session offers the opportunity. The following is a
brief detail of some of the features of the equipment which will be
of more immediate service during the Summer Session.
In the farm department, the College has 750 head of livestock,
with a total value of $49,000. Much of this is high grade show
stock. There is a modern demonstration poultry farm of twenty
acres, complete in all of its appointments, and this especially ap-
peals to the Summer Session teachers, because all teachers, men and
women alike, can take an active interest in poultry, and can be
expected to teach it successfully in the schools. There is a dairy
herd of 5 3 cattle on a farm of two hundred acres. There is a modern
dairy products manufacturing plant valued at $100,000. The soil
and farm crop experiment plots occupy sixty acres. These are used
directly in the Summer Session work, and show as nothing else
could show the opportunities for agricultural work among the
farmers. In fact, the leading educators of the state are urging
that every consolidated school, at least, should have a school farm
devoted to experimental and demonstration work. The Agricul-
tural Engineering Department, which offers courses during the
Summer Session, has fully $2 5,000 worth of farm machinery with
demonstration opportunities. The Horticultural Department has a
thoroughly equipped greenhouse under ten thousand feet of glass,
and forty acres in orchards and truck crops. The Summer Session
courses offered by the Horticultural Department plan to make
abundant use of their equipment. The manual training work, which
for the Summer Session is organized under the direction of a manual
training instructor who has for a number of years been conducting
such work in a large public school, has abundant facilities in the
manual training shops in the Engineering Department of the Col-
lege. An entire building, new and modern, is available for the
work in home economics.
Location. Ames is almost at the geographical center of the State
of Iowa, on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad.
It la about thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, with which it is
connected by a branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
11
and by the Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Southern (interurban) run-
ning from Fort Dodge and Rockwell City to Des Moines. A branch
of the Chicago & Northwestern from Ames penetrates the northern
part of the State. Ames is proverbially a clean town, saloons and
billiard halls being unheard of.
The College is over a mile out but is connected by an electric car
line, with frequent service and five-cent fare.
The College Campus is said by those who have traveled much to
be the most beautiful one in the United States. A gentleman, him-
self a college president, who had visited all of the great colleges
in America and many in Europe, said its buildings and Campus were
unequalled. June is one of the best months in the year to enjoy
its tranquil splendors.
Students should plan to arrive on Saturday or Monday. In case
it is absolutely necessary to arrive on Sunday, advanced notice
should be given, with the request that rooms be arranged for, at
least temporarily. In case of arrival on Sunday, without advanced
notice, phone 652, the residence phone of the Director of the Sum-
mer Session.
Rural Life Conference. The Rural Life Conference will open on
Monday, June 22, and continue for two weeks, closing Friday eve-
ning, July 3. In the past this conference has been most helpful to
Iowa and neighboring states in stimulating and developing rural
leadership. An unusual array of talent has been secured for 1914.
The following leaders in rural, religious and educational thought
will be present during all or part of the two weeks:
Herman N. Morse, Bennington County Improvement Ass'n, Ver-
mont.
Dr. Luther H. Gulick, author, lecturer, and president of the
Campfire Girls of America.
Miss Frances Gulick, specialist in Camp Fire Guardian work.
Ernest Thompson Seton, author and chief scout of Boy Scouts of
America.
Hon. P. P. C'laxton, U. S. Commissioner of Education.
Mabel Carney, author, and professor of Rural Education.
Geo. H. Von Tungeln, professor of Rural Sociology.
Mrs. Anna L. Burdick, specialist in Vocational Education and
Guidance.
Hon. James Wilson, Emeritus Professor of Agriculture.
The lectures in the Rural Life Conference are free to Summer
Session students as well as members of the Conference. For special
bulletin giving detailed program of the Conference, write Dean
Chas. F. Curtiss, Chairman of the Rural Life Conference Committee,
or to the Director of the Summer Session.
LEGAL PROVISIONS OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS
Some recent legislation of interest to teachers is here inserted
for their information.
1. State Aided High Schools. According to section 2 634 of the
Iowa School Law, provision is made for state aid amounting to
$750 per annum to high schools providing certain normal training
for rural teachers, and offering among other subjects elementary
agriculture, home economics, and manual training. It is evi-
dent to all acquainted with the facts that better preparation on the
12
part of teachers for handling the work in agriculture, home
economics and manual training is most desirable in order to make
the work in these selected high schools most effective. To supply
these schools with teachers who have had four full years of college
work in agriculture and home economics is apparently impossible
at the present time, although a neighboring state is rapidly doing
so. To meet the Iowa situation it will be necessary that teachers
now in service avail themselves of every means to bring up their
work in agriculture, home economics and manual training. The
Summer Session offers one of the best opportunities.
2. State Aided Consolidated Schools. The last General Assembly
granted aid to consolidated schools, the amount varying from $4 50
to $12 50 according to equipment. The law makes provision, how-
ever, for the teaching of agriculture, home economics, and other
industrial and vocational subjects. To secure the state aid it is
necessary that the schools employ "teachers holding certificates
showing their qualifications to teach said subjects."
3. Teaching Agriculture, Home Economics and Manual Training.
Chapter 2 48 of the Acts of the last General Assembly makes pro-
vision as follows: "The teaching of elementary agriculture, dom-
estic science and manual training shall after the first day of July,
1915, be required in the public schools of the state, * * * *
and after the date aforesaid elementary agriculture and domestic
science shall be included among the subjects required in the exam-
ination of applicants for teachers' certificates.
4. Twelve Weeks Normal Training. The law relating to the
qualifications of teachers as passed by the last General Assembly
makes provision that after July 1, 1915, applicants for teachers'
certificates shall have had at least 12 weeks of normal training. This
does not apply to the graduates of accredited colleges and to
teachers who have had at least six months successful teaching
experience.
Two Summer Sessions of six weeks each will be considered as
the equivalent of twelve weeks of continuous work.
The State Board of Examiners limits the amount of work that
may be carried to four or five periods a day, one period being as-
signed to education.
5. Six Weeks of Teacher Training for Credit of 3 Points on
Salary. Section 2 of the Minimum Teachers' Wage Law provides
that "every teacher holding either a second or a third grade cer-
tificate who has taught successfully for one year and attended an
approved teachers' training school for a period of six weeks follow-
ing shall receive a credit of 3 points in estimating the salary."
The Summer Session of the Iowa State College gives teachers an
opportunity to receive help directly in line with all of the legal
provisions indicated above. The work is accredited for the twelve
weeks normal training and for the six weeks of teacher training.
Agriculture, home economics and manual training are the subjects
in which the Iowa State College of all institutions is prepared to
help teachers.

GENERAL COURSES
The general courses as here described are of a sub-collegiate
grade, and are organized to meet the particular needs of teachers.
While much of the work is in quality equal to the regular college
work, it is not organized on a basis so as to give credit. The
Summer Session students who expect to teach in high school, or who
have the entrance requirements for college work are urged to take
the regular college credit course. While it is more specialized, it
Is at the same time more thorough, and past experience indicates
that students who take the college credit work are on the whole
just a little better satisfied because of the fact that they have the
credit, and many of them later plan to complete the course.
GENERAL COURSE SI, AGRICULTURE.
This is a general course organized in the past for superintendents,
principals and high school teachers who have suddenly been required
to prepare for the teaching of agriculture in the high school. It is
so planned as to largely cover the entire field of agriculture. The
work is a combination of lecture, laboratory and demonstration
work; is thoroughly practical, and has served reasonably well in
the past to give prospective teachers a start toward the preparation
for teaching agriculture in the high school.
The work will be given by the regular college faculty, and in the
same scientific manner as in the regular courses. The course plans
to occupy six hours a day of the student's time for the entire six
16
weeks. This includes the time spent in laboratories, and the fol-
lowing has been arranged as a tentative program:

A detailed description of the work follows:
Animal Husbandry. Recognizing the importance of familiarizing
our teachers with Iowa's most important industry, that of livestock,
the department will offer a series of lectures and demonstrations
covering the feeding, study of breed characteristics and the judging
of domestic animals. Great care has been observed in outlining
the work so as to make it useful in the fullest measure to our
teachers. The teacher will not only receive instruction in the way
of furnishing information, but also be given helpful suggestions as
to the best methods of outlining and teaching this work. This is a
line of work which can be made intensely interesting to every boy
and girl in our school work.
Farm Buildings. Farm buildings not only make up the largest
item in the cost of farm equipment but also have a direct influence
in the success, health and general well-being of rural life.
This subject is arranged to bring the teacher in touch with the
actual problems in farm building arrangement and construction
as they now confront the Iowa farmer. It will include the location,
arrangement, convenience, lighting, ventilation, construction and
cost of the more common buildings of the farm. As far as the time
will permit, the subject will be expanded to include farm water
supplies, sewage disposal and artificial lighting plants.
Farm Crops. The course in farm crops will be arranged so that
the teacher will receive much of the same work that the pupils
will be expected to get under his direction later. This is done in
order that the teacher may have a direct knowledge of what he is
teaching.
Studies will be made in the class room, field, laboratory, and the
experimental plots, of corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye and legumes.
This study will include the selection, storing, testing of the seed,
the cultivation of the soil to get the highest yields of each of the
crops, the field botany of each of the cereals, and current practices
peculiar to the crops under consideration.
Farm Dairy Work. This course is outlined with the object in
view of giving the public school teachers such information as will
be of value as well as interest to them. The lectures will cover such
subjects as secretion and composition of milk; the value of milk
for fat; acid and adulteration; ice cream making on the farm;
testing cows on the farm; farm butter making, etc. Work in the
laboratory will be given in milk testing and ice cream making.

Feeds and Feeding. The lectures given on the subject of feeding
farm livestock will be so arranged as to cover the principles involved
in the growth, feed and care of cattle, swine, sheep and horses. All
of the lectures will be in close connection with the laboratory work
given in the other Animal Husbandry Courses.
Methods. Agriculture, the newest of public school sciences, opens
to the teacher a new field of interesting and valuable work. The
organization of agricultural knowledge, the placing of agriculture
in a form as definite as that of the older sciences, and the applica-
tion of established pedagogic principles to its teaching is one of
the live problems of today.
Round table discussions will offer opportunity for the considera-
tion of any related subjects.
The following topics will receive attention — courses of study in
agriculture, texts, equipment, plans and methods of work, bulletins,
club and canning work, community co-operation, and extension
work from the high school. Professor E. C. Davis of the Department
of Agricultural Education of the Minnesota Agricultural College
will be present during a part of the Summer Session, and will tell
us of the work in agriculture which is being done in the Minnesota
high schools, including the extension work among farmers.
Orchard and Garden. The development and care of the orchard
and garden, varieties for Iowa, insect and fungous pests, and meth-
ods of control. Planning and planting of the home and school
grounds.
Plant Propagation. A study of plant reproduction both sexually
and non-sexually. Seeds, storage, testing, germination, cuttage,
graftage, and budding, including simple laboratory exercises.
Poultry Management. The work in poultry will include those fea-
tures which are best adapted to use in public schools. Among the
topics taken up are the general principles of feeding, breeding,
housing, incubating and rearing, judging market eggs, testing eggs
during incubation, judging breed and market types of poultry, study
of feeds, etc.
Soils. The work in soils will direct the attention of the student
to some interesting and fundamental facts regarding the relation
of soils to air, moisture and heat; the way in which soils supply
growing plants with food materials, the nature of nlant food, and
the influence of bacteria and legumes on soil fertility. The work
will be given principally by means of demonstrations and only such
apparatus will be used as can be easily obtained by any school, and
almost without cost. The necessity of a proper amount of air,
light, and moisture; factors influencing the air and water holding
capacity of various soils, the movement of water through soils, the
water removed by tile drains, methods whereby soil moisture may
be conserved, and the influence of plant food on various crops, are
some of the many things which will be demonstrated.
Weeds and Plant Diseases. This work will be given under two
general heads: 1st: Weeds. One of the most important problems
confronting the Iowa farmer is the question of weeds. The annual
loss to the farmer runs into the millions of dollars. This can
largely be prevented if the farmers have a better understanding of
weeds and their kinds. The teachers of the State can do a great
deal to bring knowledge to the farmers in their respective com-
munities.
The course in weeds will consist of lectures, and practical work
in the identification of the common weeds of Iowa, also the methods
used in exterminating them, how weeds are scattered through the
18
purchase of seeds, farm implements, animals, water, and other
agencies. Practical work in the field as well as the laboratory will
be combined with the lecture work.
The second division of the work will be plant diseases. Fungous
pests of economic importance will be studied as follows: Classifica-
tion briefly; stages both summer and winter; life history in rela-
tion to temperature, moisture, sunlight, chemicals, insects, etc.
Simple laboratory exercises will be given which may be repeated
in the schools without expensive equipment.
GENERAL COURSE S2, AGRICULTURE.
This is a general course for farmers and business and professional
men and women who wish to get a general knowledge of the funda-
mentals of agriculture from the combined scientific and practical
points of view. The course will be practically the same as Course
SI, excepting the work in methods, for which other practical work
may be substituted.
GENERAL COURSES IN HOME ECONOMICS.
General courses in home economics are organized for the pur-
pose of helping teachers who do not wish to undertake college
credit work in home economics, and also for the purpose of helping
the home-makers of our state who desire to secure practical help
and more scientific interest in their work.
Teachers' Course. The Teachers' Course is organized with the
particular purpose of helping rural and grade teachers who must
prepare to teach the subject of domestic science in the schools to
meet the requirements of the new legislation. All of the work will
be organized from the teachers' viewpoint, and will emphasize the
best method of presenting the work, and of connecting it up with
the community needs and interests of the children. Three courses
are offered. These may be taken simultaneously, or they may be
taken in the order that will best serve the particular needs of the
teacher.
S-38. Rural and Grade Teachers' Course. The work in this
course will be done under conditions and with equipment that can
be easily duplicated in the rural schools. The emphasis will be placed
on planning a suitable course of lessons, demonstration with stu-
dents or pupils of the Model School as a class, lesson plans, co-
operation with the home, and necessary equipment.
S-32. Sewing. Planned for those who wish to teach sewing. As
much subject-matter will be covered as the ability of the class will
permit. The emphasis will be upon plain sewing, but help will be
given on the selection and use of materials and the practical work
of cutting, fitting and finishing of garments.
S-3 7. Cooking. Planned for those who wish to teach elementary
cooking. Work in food preparation, serving of meals, economical
farm menus, and other work according to the interest and ability
of the class.
Home-makers' Course. The Home-makers' Course will omit all
discussion of methods and presentation of work, and will go more
directly to the home interests of the class, taking up such problems
as relate themselves closely to city and rural homes. The work
will include lessons in planning and serving meals. A course of
lectures will be arranged to include a discussion of such subjects
as personal hygiene, home sanitation, home care of the sick, and
home decoration.
19
S-30. Sewing. Open to students who are entering for the first
time. Planned especially for home-makers.
S-31. Sewing. A continuation of course S-30, for those who
have taken work in sewing during a single Summer Session.
S-3 5. Cooking. A course in establishing a fundamental
knowledge of foods.
S-36. Cooking. More detailed work in food stuffs and food
preparation will be given. Table setting, serving, and invalid cook-
ery will also be considered. Comparison of various food stuffs with
regard to cost, composition, nutritive value. Open to students who
have taken the equivalent of a Summer Session's work in cooking.
Home Economics students are requested to wear wash dresses in
the cooking laboratories. White aprons, hand towels and holders
will also be required.
GENERAL COURSES IN MANUAL TRAINING.
This work will have for its general object the preparation of
teachers for manual training as taught in the best public schools.
Three lines of work will be taken up; namely, shop instruction,
mechanical drawing and general lectures on the history and organ-
ization of manual training departments, and on methods of giving
manual training instruction.
The work will be of special value, first, to public school teach-
ers who wish to prepare themselves for manual training, and
second, to students who have already taken up some shop work
and technical drawing and who wish to obtain the additional
preparation needed to make their knowledge available in teaching
manual training under the conditions found in the public schools.
S-10. Elementary Wood-work With Its Related Drawing and
Design. A course dealing primarily with grade work, the most
fundamental uses of the tools considered and the simplest methods
of drawing and of wood finishing.
S-ll. Bench AVork in Wood, Wood-turning, and Cabinet Con-
struction, With Their Related Drawing and Design. A course pri-
marily arranged for high school (boys and the) teachers of high
school boys.
In each of the above courses Models -will be selected in the light
of experience as to (a) what boys of certain ages are able to do;
(b) the peculiar interests of boys at these same ages. Tool Proc-
esses will be selected with reference to their vocational values and
because they illustrate typical industrial problems. The Spirit of
the work will be that of the artist craftsman, working not alone
for personal, but for community ends as well. Originality of de-
sign will be encouraged but the design must keep itself within the
limits set by the type of work, the tools and the processes taught
for the grade in hand. The method pursued will be the develop-
ment of subject-matter by means of type models that illustrate the
various tool processes. Drill will be given by asking each student
to design and make other models that will illustrate the same tool
processes. Practice teaching will be offered to the extent that each
student will be given the opportunity to develop, drill, review, and
test the class on some tool process.
S-12. Mechanical Drawing for High Schools. A somewhat
technical course dealing with (1) the proper use of the instru-
ments; (2) lettering; (3) orthographic projection, including: (a)
simple projection, (b) revolution of solids, (c) developments, (d)
intersections; (4) practical applications of the above to (a) house
plans and elevations, (b) the drawing of machine parts, (c) prob-
lems in sheet metal work, (d) problems in roof framing. Texts
20
will be, Problems in Mechanical Drawing, C. A. Bennett, $1.00;
Mechanical Drawing for Trade Schools, C. C. Leeds, $1.2 5.
S-13. Pottery With Related Drawing and Design.
S-14. Art and Light Metal-work. Models and tool processes
will be selected in the same way and the spirit of the work will be
the same as in Courses S-10 and S-ll. Among the special tool
processes taught will be etching, boring, sawing, cutting with file
and chisel, upsetting, bending, planishing, hardening, tempering,
annealing, fastening with rivets, bolts, screws, soldering, brazing,
coloring and lacquering. A special feature of the work will be the
design of all projects made.
The Texts used will be: Copper Work, Augustus F. Rose, $1.50;
Class Room Practice in Design, J. P. Haney, $.50.
S-15. Basketry and Weaving.
S-16. Manual Training for Rural and Grade Teachers. Special
equipment and exercises adapted to rural school conditions. See
Rural and Grade Teachers' Course, following.
RURAL AND GRADE TEACHERS' COURSE.
TUITION FREE.
This course is offered to enable rural and grade teachers to have
the advantages of the unusual facilities of the Iowa State College
in preparation for teaching agriculture, home economics, and manual
training in the public schools in an intelligent and effective manner.
The instruction will emphasize the elementary side of the subjects,
giving particular attention to methods of preparing material, and of
organizing the work in rural schools. The laboratories and teaching
equipment of the college, including the library and the experiment
farms, will be available to the students, but the aim throughout
will be to so handle the work as to illustrate the possibilities of
.doing the work effectively under rural school conditions. The
primary object of the course is to give work in the industrial sub-
jects to present and prospective teachers, and other work will be
offered only when carried along with industrial work. The course
makes provision for the following work:
1. General Agriculture. This course is planned after consul-
tation with the State Department so as to meet the requirements
of teachers who are preparing to teach agriculture in the rural
and grade schools. The entire field will be covered in a general
way, but emphasis will be placed upon those topics which are more
directly useful to rural and grade teachers. The following topics
will be treated in their appropriate order: The texture of soils,
liming of soils, percolation of water through the soils, maintaining
soil fertility, the selection of seed corn, judging and scoring of
corn, seed corn testing, actual field problems relating to the stand
of corn, the corn breeding plot, cultivation and improvement of
corn, weeds and how to kill them, plant propagation, cuttings for
house plants, layering and plant divisions, budding, pruning.
Other grains and forage crops will be treated, according
to the time available. Attention will also be given to the home
garden and orchard, poultry, proper stocking and management of
the farm, and other practical problems which can be profitably
taken up in the rural schools.
2. Home Economics. (Sewing and Cooking.) A course planned
especially for rural and grade teachers. The students will be
organized in a class, and cooking and sewing taught under con-
ditions that can be duplicated in any rural school. All details
will be carefully worked out as to equipment, subject-matter, and
correlation with other lessons so that the teacher can easily do the
21
cooking and sewing in her own school with very little additional
planning.
3. Manual Training. The models selected will be those sug-
gested by the home, farm, school and community interests of the
rural school boys. Among the models that will be presented are
the following: Farm projects, e.g., mail boxes, bird houses, fruit
crates, milking stools, work benches, tool racks, tool chests, step
ladders; school apparatus, e.g., corn trays, seed boxes, bulletin
boards, screens, book racks, show cases, drawing boards and
tables, cupboards for domestic science classes, filing cases, display
shelves or cabinets for samples of farm products; home furniture,
e.g., foot stools, plate racks, plant stand's, book racks, waste bas-
kets, skirt boxes, etc.; play ground apparatus, e.g., swings, jump-
ing-standards, teeters, merry-go-rounds, wands, spring boards, slid-
ing boards, hurdles.
These problems will be analyzed and classified into type problems
and then one of each type will be worked through showing how to
develop methods and skill that will make possible the successful
making of all the others and a large number of similar projects
at home. The spirit of the work will be the same as in the other
courses.
There will be opportunity for practice teaching in presenting and
developing some problem before the class.
4. Other Subjects. Other subjects needed by rural and grade
teachers, as required for the first grade certificate, will be avail-
able in this course only when taken along with industrial sub-
jects. All phases of the work will be taught by competent teach-
ers.
5. Plan for Work In Successive Summer Sessions. While pro-
vision is made for work in all of the subjects required for the first
grade certificate in addition to agriculture, home economics, and
manual training, teachers who enter upon work in this course are
urged to make a schedule which will enable them to follow the
work up to advantage in successive Summer Sessions. The follow-
ing grouping of subjects is suggested on a basis of four successive
Summer Sessions.

Any student pursuing this work in such consecutive manner
will be given special certificate showing the same. The teacher
in service who is sufficiently interested to follow up her schooling
in such systematic fashion should receive proper recognition.
Rural and grade teachers coming for a single Summer Session
are urged to take advantage of all of the industrial work that it
is possible to get in the course. A teacher may meet the six weeks
and twelve weeks requirements (see legal requirements, page 12)
and still give very nearly all of the time to agriculture, home
economics and manual training. Education must be taken to meet
the requirements of the law, but that leaves a possibility of three-
fourths of the time on industrial subjects. However, it may be
better for a particular teacher to put some of the time on other
subjects, as arithmetic, English, etc. The course is arranged to
meet this need.
Admission to this course requires graduation from the common
schools and the recommendation of the county superintendent of
schools.

COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES
There are many who wish to take some of the regular college
courses either because of the intrinsic value of the work to them
in a practical way or as a part of a regular college course to be
completed later.
The courses described below are the same as those offered dur-
ing the college year and will be taught by the regular college fac-
ulty. The descriptions are quoted from the regular College Catalog.
As the Summer Session is approximately one third the length
of a college semester, the number of hours per week devoted to a
course in the Summer Session will be three times what is shown
In the descriptions below. From six to eight hours per week con-
stitutes full work in these college courses. There is little doubt but
that the numbers in each course will justify offering it.
A resolution adopted by the Iowa Council of Education last
November indicated about thirty-two hours of technical agricul-
ture of a college grade as the minimum for a regular teacher of
agriculture in the high school. This amount of work will easily
be secured in four successive Summer Sessions. The work in agri-
culture offered during the summer of 1914 includes twenty courses,
with a total of 47 2-3 credit 'hours. The prospective student who
is looking forward to several Summer Sessions in succession is ad-
vised to plan his work so as to cover the field in a reasonable man-
ner and meet the minimum requirements as suggested by the Iowa
Council of Education.

SUGGESTIONS TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
1. Read carefully the description of the various courses and
other matter in this bulletin, and if the information is not suf-
ficiently specific, do not hesitate to write for particulars.
2. Fill out and mail the information blank on page 2, which
will give us an idea of your demands. This places you under
no obligations, but it gives the Director of the. Summer Ses-
sion a better basis for making plans to handle the work on an
efficient basis when you arrive.
3. Upon your arrival at the depot in Ames, make yourself
known to a member of the Reception Committee, who will be
recognized by the college badge. If for any reason you miss the
committee, take the college car to the college, and get off at the
Farm Station. Go direct to Agricultural Hall. The Bureau of In-
formation will be found in the east corridor of the main floor.
Opportunity will be there offered for checking your grips until you
have located a room and are ready for them.
If you come on the interurban, get off at the Campus.
4. The following is the plan of registration.
(1) Go to the Registrar's office, fill out the two cards
there furnished you, pay the Summer Session fee, and obtain
a receipt.
(2) Go to room 111, Agricultural Hall, for classification.
Have in mind the work which you want as definitely as pos-
sible, but do not hesitate to ask questions and be fully ad-
vised before completing classification.
(3) If any of your courses carry laboratory fees, fee
cards may be secured from the instructors, and fees paid at
the Treasurer's office.
5. There are ample accommodations, and advanced notice is not
necessary. The college has been accustomed to handling 2 500
students during the regular year, and knows how to do it right.
However, if your plans are matured sufficiently early, it will assist
in rapid assignment and registration if advanced notice is given.
"To despise nothing in the world except
meanness and to fear nothing except
cowardice, to be governed by your ad-
mirations rather than your disgusts, to
covet nothing that is your neighbor's ex-
cept his kindness of heart and gentleness
of manner; to think seldom of your
enemies, often of friends, and every day
of Christ; and to spend as much time
as you can, with body and with spirit,
in God's out-of-doors — these are little
guide posts on the foot path to peace."

GENERAL INFORMATION
General Statement. — Summer Session work was offered by the
Iowa State College for the first time in 1911. In that summer a
short course extending over two weeks was attended by about fifty
superintendents and high school teachers of the state. Since that
time the interest in agriculture and industrial subjects has in-
creased tremendously, not only in this state, but throughout the
United States. At the present time 19 states require the teaching
of agriculure in the public schools, and in many more of the states
agriculture is taught, especially in the high schools. In 1912 the
Summer Session was extended to six weeks, and had a total enroll-
ment of 128 students. The third Summer Session, 1913, enrolled
225 students. These students came from 63 counties of the state
and 10 spates of the Union.
The Summer Session last year had a total attendance of 618.
They represented 96 counties in the state, 15 states and 6 foreign
countries. Eighty-eighjt per cent of them were teachers in the pub-
lic schools and not in attendance during the regular college year.
The enrollment in the classes in industrial subjects and the hearty
response of the teachers to this work, show the wisdom of the legis-
lature in passing the law relating to the teaching of these subjects
in the public schools.
Teachers in service can be helped best through the Summer Ses-
sion, and in a large measure, at least, they have a right to the ad-
vantages of the unusual equipment of the Iowa State College. This
is especially true since the legislation requiring the teaching of the
industrial subjects in the public school. No other institution in the
middle west has a better selected faculty, or more adequate equip-
ment than the Iowa State College.
The large response last year by rural and grade teachers for
work in agriculture, home economics and manual training justifies
increased provision for such work this year. This course is offered
on a free tuition basis and represents an effort of the Iowa State
College to meet its responsibility in helping to make provision for
the teaching of the new subjects in the public schools. In other
lines the work will be very conservatively extended; new courses
being offered only in response to outstanding and obvious demands.
Who May Properly Attend. On account of the easy conditions
of entrance, many receive benefit from the Summer Session who do
not attend during the regular year. The following should be par-
ticularly interested in the Summer Session:
1. All TEACHERS, or persons expecting to teach next year,
may use the Summer Session to secure work in the industrial sub-
jects as required by the recent legislation. Teachers in the ele-
mentary schools will find profitable work in the Rural and Grade
Teachers' Course. High school teachers may secure strong work
along particular lines as listed under college credit courses.
2. SUPERINTENDENTS, PRINCIPALS AND SUPERVISORS.
The large number of superintendents and principals who have been
enrolled in the Summer Session in the past indicates clearly that
it is serving them to good advantage, and meeting a special need
which they feel for getting acquainted with the newer subjects of
manual training and agriculture, or of pursuing courses in agricul-
tural education. An examination of the Iowa Directory indicates
that agriculture is taught in the high schools of the state by the
superintendents more often than by any other single group. Begin-
ning and advanced courses are offered in the present session in
soils, farm crops, animal husbandry, dairying, agricultural engi-
neering, horticulture, and in the related subjects of rural sociology,
agricultural economics, agricultural education, botany, bacteriol-
ogy, etc. The Summer Session gives such superintendents and
principals an opportunity to secure work of a high character under
regular college instruction and under the most favorable condi-
tions.
3. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS are offered a special pro-
gram during the second week of the Rural Life Conference, the
week beginning June 28th, but some are planning to be present the
entire six weeks.
4. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES will find an opportunity to
start the college course or to satisfy entrance requirements. High
school graduates who think of entering the Iowa State College in
the fall of 1915 may take advantage of the Summer Session to be-
come acquainted with college methods and to secure work towards
graduation. Increasing numbers are taking advantage of the Sum-
mer Session for this purpose.
5. REGULAR STUDENTS IN THE IOWA STATE COLLEGE
may make up back work, shorten their course by doing advanced
work or increase their electives.
6. STUDENTS in other colleges who are interested in the in-
dustrial work and related lines will find other colleges willing to
substitute credits made at this institution.
7. FORMER GRADUATES may complete the necessary work in
psychology and agricultural education in order to secure the first
grade state certificate.

8. ANY MATURE INDIVIDUAL who gives evidence of ability
to carry the work with profit will be admitted without examination,
but such individual must satisfy the department concerned as to
his ability to carry the work.
9. RURAL AND VILLAGE MINISTERS will find especially val-
uable help in the Rural Life Conference. Bankers, farmers, rural
leaders, mothers and daughters will find a welcome, an atmosphere
of culture and inspiration, and practical help for their work.
Conditions of Admission. All students who can profit by the in-
struction offered will be admitted without examination. It is pre-
sumed that all applying for admission have a serious purpose, and
are interested in the industrial work. College credit will be grant-
ed, however, only to those who meet standard entrance require-
ments.
Courses and Credits. A total of over eighty college credit
courses is offered. Twenty-seven of these are in agriculture. An
average student should be able to make six hours credit during a
single half of the Summer Session. All courses offered are com-
pleted during a single half of the Summer Session by increasing
the number of recitations per week. There are no split courses.
A student desiring to carry more than six (or six and a fraction)
hours of college credit work will be required to make application
for permission to take extra work, application being countersign-
ed by the instructors involved. The committee on extra work will
meet Monday evening, June 14.

Summer Session Growth at Ames.
— 6 —
Late Entrance. Because of the rapidity with which the work
moves in a short session, students should enter in time to attend
the first session of all classes. After Wednesday evening, June 16,
students must secure the consent of professors in charge of courses
and bring such statement of consent to the classifying officers in
order to secure classification. The general courses in home econ-
omics for homemakers are excepted from this rule.
General Courses. In the general courses students will be given
more freedom as to the number of hours to be carried, with this
proviso, that in case they desire certificates under the new legisla-
tion requiring twelve weeks of professional training, or increased
wages because of attending a Summer Session for six weeks, they
will be limited in the amount of work that can be carried according
to the regulations sent out by the State Educational Board of Ex-
aminers. (See legal requirements, p. 14).
Special Work. Students wishing to do advanced or other special
work not announced in this bulletin should communicate at an early
date with the Director of the Summer Session, or with the professor
in whose department they wish to work. Consideration may be
given to a sufficient number of requests.
Meeting Residence Requirements for a Degree Through Summer
Session Work. Because of the largely increased attendance at the
Summer Session, provision has been made for the satisfying of resi-
dence requirements for a degree on the basis of four Summer Ses-
sions equalling one full academic year in residence. This will en-
able graduate students to complete the work for the Master's de-
gree by attending four consecutive Summer Sessions. It is pos-
sible that the amount of work required for the degree may have to
be supplemented by work in absence, or by correspondence, but any
earnest student should be able to complete the work for a Master's
degree in four successive Summer Sessions by doing some outside
work.
Fees. The single Summer Session fee of $5.00 for each half of
six weeks, covers work in all courses with the exceptions of the
Music Department. The fee for less than the full time is $1.00 a
week, with $2.00 as a minimum. Any laboratory fees are indicated
in connection with the descriptions of the courses. In the Rural
and Grade Teachers' Course tuition is free. No fee is charged for
attendance at the Rural Life Conference.
Room and Board. Room and board is available in private homes
and at the college dormitories at prices which are customary
throughout Iowa. The cafe in Alumni Hall will be open during the
entire Summer Session.
Women will be required to arrange for room through the regu-
lar college committee of which Mrs. Emily Cunningham is chair-
man. The college dormitories will be open for women students for
board and room. A uniform rate of $5.00 a week will be charged
for board and room in the dormitories where two occupy the same
room. After the dormitories are filled Mrs. Cunningham will assign
women to selected houses about the campus, where the regular
college rules as to chaperons will be enforced during the session.
Advanced arrangement for room is desirable. In the dormitories
and private homes alike, mattresses only are furnished for the cots,
BO that students should bring a pillow, sheets, pillow cases, and an
extra blanket.
Women rooming in private homes may secure board at the college
dormitory dining rooms at the regular rate.
Rooms for men will be available in private homes and rooming
houses about the campus. A competent committee will be in charge.
Mr. J. P. Clyde, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has agreed to take over
this work for the coming Summer Session, and give it the same
thorough attention which it receives during the regular college
year. Prices for private rooms for the Summer Session range
around $1.50 per week for each occupant. Usually this means
two in a room.
Expenses. Expenses will vary with the individual. For six
weeks the expenses need not exceed $40 or $45, in addition to car
fare. This makes provision for tuition, $5.00; room and board for
six weeks, $30.00; books and laundry, $5.00, and other incidentals.
Certificates. Students satisfactorily completing any of the gen-
eral courses offered in the six weeks' Summer Session will, upon re-
quest, be given a certificate showing attendance and grades. Most
teachers will desire that attendance count toward the satisfaction
of the recent law requiring twelve weeks of professional training,
or the law giving certain credits for attendance at a six weeks'
Summer Session. Such teachers will be fully advised as to the law,
and certificate will be furnished accordingly.
The Rural and Grade Teachers' Course is so arranged that it
may be pursued with profit for four successive Summer Sessions.
At the completion of the course special certificate may be given.
Statement as to college credit work will be furnished by the Regis-
trar.
Teachers' Examination. The State Teachers' examination for
June and July will be held at the college during the Summer Ses-
sion for the convenience of teaefiers in attendance. One expecting
to take an examination at the college should bring with him a
statement from the county superintendent which will admit to the
examination. It is also advised that the fee be paid to the county
superintendent although where such fee has not been previously
paid it will be collected and forwarded to the county superintendent.
The Appointment Committee. In order to better serve the
schools of the state, the faculty has provided a regular Appoint-
ment Committee, the duties of which are to assist the students of
the College who desire to enter educational work in finding the
positions for which they are best fitted, and to aid school officials
in finding the teachers, principals, supervisors and superintendents
best prepared for the positions to be filled. Students of the Sum-
mer Session who intend to teach or wish to better their positions,
are invited to register with this committee. Blanks which are
provided for that purpose may be secured by calling at the office of
the Director of the Summer Session, room 318 Agricultural Hall.
No fee is charged for the services of this committee.
Chapel. Chapel services are held Tuesday of each week from
7:40 to 8:00 o'clock A. M. This is more or less in the nature of a
convocation, as well as a chapel service, and furnishes opportunity
for announcements or for brief remarks upon subjects of immed-
iate interest.
Students' Mail. Students will avoid inconvenience by having
their mail addressed, temporarily at least, to Station A, Ames,
— 8-
Iowa. This postoffice is located upon the College campus, and mail
may be called for conveniently.
Summer Employment. Students coming for the short Summer
Session are not advised to seek employment but to give their full
time to school work. This is particularly urged in the case of
teachers desiring to meet the requirements of the State Education-
al Board of Examiners with reference to normal training or the
three points on salary or who desire to take the new subjects (Agri-
culture, Home Economics, and Manual Training) and have the
grades in these subjects transferred direct to the certificate.
There are usually s.hig summer calls for help. Students may
learn of these calls through Mr. J. P. Clyde, Secretary of the Y. M.
C. A.
Excursions. A number of excursions are arranged during the
Summer Session under the direction of a regular committee. So far
as possible these are scheduled for Saturday, so as to give all stu-
dents in the general courses, at least, an opportunity to take ad-
vantage of them.
Recreation. While the primary object of the Summer Session
is work and study, yet these will be facilitated by a sufficient
amount of recreation. Students are uiged to effect organizations
and to arrange for tournaments in tennis, baseball, track, or indoor
work. The Committee on Games and Recreation will encourage and
help in organizing the details of this work. Play hour, 7 to 9
Friday evenings.
Women who are beginners in tennis will be given instruction
in the game by the director of physical culture for women on the
Margaret Hall Courts.

Tenting Privilege. The
extended for the first I Ime
privilege of tenting in the north woods
last summer received such hearty praise
I
from those participating that the privilege will be further extended
this summer. There is no charge for tenting space but at present
the space is limited. It will be well to arrange in advance for the
privilege. Tents may be brought along or rented of tenting com-
panies. One company in Des Moines makes a price of $5 for six
weeks for a 10 foot by 12 foot tent.
The gentleman whose tent appears in the cut on page eight wrote
with reference to his experience as follows:
"To my mind it is the ideal way to enjoy the summer session.
Nearly every school man would like to spend a few weeks camping
each summer but either feels he cannot spare the time or is oblig-
ed to sacrifice the outing in order to attend summer school where
the privilege is not offered. But if he may do as we did this sum-
mer, combine the outing with his summer session work he can en-
joy both much better. He does not need to feel that he is sacri-
ficing time and he has the satisfaction of knowing that this will
give him an outing and a chance to give his family an outing and
enjoy it with them. It surely appeals to me and I should like now
to reserve the right for next summer if it is extended.
"With regard to expense, I kept account of my expenses for board
and the average was $2.34 per week. This included several meals
at the club or down town which generally cost $.35 or $.40. I be-
lieve that if there were a family of three the expense for board need
not be over $2.00 per week."
Special Features. One feature of the Summer Session which is
particularly worth while is the opportunity to hear educators of
national reputation. The students last year who heard Commission-
er Claxton of the National Bureau of Education, Dr. Jones of the
University of South Dakota, Miss Carney or Dr. Foght, appreciated
the opportunity which the Summer Session brought them in these
speakers. This year there will be equal opportunity of hearing
educators of note. The policy is to select a limited number of men
of national reputation, whose addresses no one can afford to miss.
Shakesparean Festival. On Monday, July 12th, the Ben Greet
Woodland Players of national fame, will give a matinee and even-
ing performance on the college campus. Ben Greet, himself, will
be in the caste. The program as at present planned will be as fol-
lows:
Afternoon matinee, "Comedy of Errors."
Evening performance, "Mid Summer Night's Dream."
The charge will be reasonable and the announcement of this
festival is made with confidence that it will be appreciated by the
Summer School students.
Vocational Education and Vocational Guidance. Special lectures
in this line presented last summer by Mrs. Anna L. Burdick, Voca-
tional Supervisor of the Des Moines schools, were so successful that
a regular course in vocational education and vocational guidance
will be offered during the summer of 1915. This course will be
found under college credit courses.
The whole trend of legislation and of educational thought during
the last few years has been tovrard an increased attention to voca-
tional and industrial education. It is worth much in this connection
to have an opportunity to hear from one who can speak with author-
ity.
10—
Lower Grades in the Model School.
The Model School. The popular, two-room, consolidated Model
School will be continued, in charge of competent critic teachers.
Regular work in observation and methods will be offered for stu-
dents in the general courses, and the work of the model school will
be used in the regular college courses in agricultural education.
Courses offered in Agricultural Education will include Principles
and Methods of Education, Secondary Education, and School Ad-
ministration. This will enable us to serve directly the rural teacher,
the grade teacher, the agricultural high school teacher, and the
school administrator. While all of these courses are standard col-
lege courses, the emphasis is placed upon the development of agri-
cultural and industrial subjects in the school curriculum.
The Model School will be used for observation and demonstration
purposes in connection with the work in didactics in the Rural and
Grade Teachers' Course. It is planned to carry out fully the maxi-
mum requirements of the State Educational Board of Examiners
with reference to observation and demonstration. Students desiring
extra opportunities for observation are asked to secure permission
in advance.
Library. The Library of the Iowa State College will be open for
the use of Summer Session students. The Library consists of 45,000
volumes well distributed among the various departments, and pro-
viding a great deal of general matter in addition to the technical
works required by the various divisions.
The Library is well supplied with periodicals and dailies. The
number of magazines and periodicals is fully 500. There are 18
dailies, and about 150 local papers from different parts of Iowa.
There are papers from every county in Iowa. Personal assistance
will be given by the librarian and her assistants to any who desire
help in reference work.
The Agricultural Library in the Hall of Agriculture is supplied
with the best books, bulletins, reports and agricultural papers and
will be at the disposal of Summer School students both as a consult-
ing and reading room. No fee is charged for the use of the reading
rooms and the Library.
Equipment. The College grounds and farms contain over 1,400
acres. The larger portion is used for experimental farms, including
-li-
the dairy, poultry and soil experiment farms. About 200 acres is
set apart as a campus, upon which is located the buildings used for
instruction, administration, and residential purposes. Here also are
the various athletic fields. The natural beauty of the campus is en-
hanced by the many driveways and walks, by carefully arranged
shrubs and trees, and by artistic landscape gardening.
Thirty-six commodious buildings have been erected by the state
for the exclusive use of the various departments of the College,
besides the dwelling houses and the buildings for farm stock,
machinery, and workshops. All of these buildings are lighted by
electricity and supplied with pure water.
One who has never made a trip to the Iowa State College will be
surprised at the extensive and superior equipment. This is all im-
mediately serviceable in teaching the industrial subjects, and in pre-
paring teachers to meet the requirements of the new legislation.
The teachers of the state are entitled to the use of this equipment.
The Summer Session offers the opportunity. The following is a
brief detail of some of the features of the equipment which will be
of more immediate service during the Summer Session.
In the farm department, the College has 750 head of livestock,
with a total value of $49,000. Much of this is high grade show
stock. There is a modern demonstration poultry farm of twenty
acres, complete in all of its appointments, and this especially ap-
peals to the Summer Session teachers, because all teachers, men and
women alike, can take an active interest in poultry, and can be
expected to teach it successfully in the schools. There is a dairy
herd of 53 cattle on a farm of two hundred acres. There is a modern
dairy products manufacturing plant valued at $100,000. The soil
and farm crop experiment plots occupy sixty acres. These are used
directly in the Summer Session work, and show as nothing else
could show the opportunities for agricultural work among the
farmers. In fact, the leading educators of the state are urging
that every consolidated school, at least, should have a school farm
devoted to experimental and demonstration work. The Agricultural
Engineering Department, which offers courses during the Summer
Session, has fully $25,000 worth of farm machinery with demon-
stration opportunities. The Horticultural Department has a thor-
oughly equipped greenhouse under ten thousand feet of glass, and
forty acres in orchards and truck crops. The Summer Session
courses offered by the Horticultural Department plan to make
abundant use of their equipment. The manual training work, which
for the Summer Session is organized under the direction of a man-
ual training instructor who has for a number of years been conduct-
ing such work in a large public school, has abundant facilities in
the manual training shops in the Engineering Department of the
College. An entire building, new and modern, is available for the
work in home economics.
Location. Ames is almost at the geographical center of the state
of Iowa, on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
It is about thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, with which it is
connected by a branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
and by the Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Southern (interurban) run-
ning from Fort Dodge and Rockwell City to Des Moines. A branch
of the Chicago & Northwestern from Ames penetrates the northern
part of the state. Ames is proverbially a clean town, saloons and
billiard halls being unheard of.
— 12-
The College is over a mile out but is connected by an electric car
line, with frequent service and five-cent fare.
The College Campus is said by those who have traveled much to
be the most beautiful one in the United States. A gentleman, him-
self a college president, who had visited all of the great colleges
in America and many in Europe, said its buildings and campus were
unequalled. June is one of the best months in the year to enjoy its
tranquil splendors.
Students should plan to arrive on Saturday or Monday. In case
it is absolutely necessary to arrive on Sunday, advanced notice
should be given, with the request that rooms be arranged for, at
least temporarily. In case of arrival on Sunday, without advanced
notice, phone 652, the residence phone of the Director of the Sum-
mer Session.
A Rural Lift
Rural Life Conference. The Rural Life Conference will open on
Monday, June 21st, and continue for two weeks, closing Friday
evening, July 2nd. In the past this conference has been most help-
ful to Iowa and neighboring states in stimulating and developing
rural leadership. Unusual talent has been secured for 1915. The
following leaders in Rural, Religious, and Educational thought will
be present during all or part of the two weeks.
Mr. Claire S. Adams, field assistant to the board of Home Mis-
sions to the Presbyterian Church in the United States, will be pres-
ent during the entire two weeks. Mr. Adams is well known in Iowa
and the announcement of his name will elicit general interest.
Mr. E. B. Turner, Bible Extension Professor of the Bible Training
School of New York City.
Dr. Harold II. Foght, Rural School Specialist of the National
Bureau or Education.
Mr. X. C. MacDonald, State Inspector of Consolidated Schools of
North Dakota.
Other speakers or note from the (-oiio^e and the state.
■13 —
The lectures in the Rural Life Conference are free to Summer
Session students as well as members of the Conference. I^or special
bulletin giving detailed program of the Conference, write Dean
Chas. F. Curtiss, Chairman of the Rural Life Conference Committee,
or to the Director of the Summer Session.
COLLEGE EXTENSION
Six Lectures. Teachers and others attending the Summer Session
will be interested in an opportunity of hearing from leaders in the
extension department on different phases of the extension work.
This oportunity will be offered during the first half of the Summer
Session and the following schedule has been arranged by Director
Bliss:
1. Agricultural Extension Work — Its Object and Purpose — R.
K. Bliss.
2. Demonstration in Canning — E. C. Bishop.
3. Boys' and Girls' Club Work — Kate Logan.
4. Correspondence Courses in Agriculture as an Aid in Prepar-
ing to Teach Agricultural Subjects — P. C. Taff.
5. Short Courses or Movable Schools — R. F. O'Donnell.
6. County Agricultural Agent — Work and What We Can Do To
Assist Rural Teachers — J. W. Coverdale.
These lectures will be given in Room 117, Agricultural Hall, at
5 o'clock each Wednesday evening during the first six weeks. Stu-
dents are urged to improve this opportunity of getting a better idea
of the great modern movement of "carrying the school to the
people."
LEGAL PROVISIONS OF INTEREST TO
TEACHERS
A large part of the work offered in the Summer Session is offer-
ed in direct response to recent legislation. Work is arranged to
meet legal requirements.
Some recent legislation of interest to teachers is here inserted for
their information.
1. State Aided High Schools. According to section 2 6 34 of the
Iowa School Law, provision is made for state aid amounting to $750
per annum to high schools providing certain normal training for
rural teachers, and offering among other subjects elementary agri-
culture, home economics, and manual training. It is evident to all
acquainted with the facts that better preparation on the part of
teachers for handling the work in agriculture, home economics and
manual training is most desirable in order to make the work in
these selected high schools most effective. To supply these schools
with teachers who have had four full years of college work in agri-
culture and home economics is apparently impossible at the present
time, aUhough a neighboring state is rapidly doing so. To meet the
Iowa situation it will be necessary that teachers now in service avail
themselves of every means to bring up their work in agriculture,
heme economics and manual training. The Summer Session offers
ore of the best opportunities.
2. State Aided Consolidated Schools. The last General Assembly
granted aid to consolidated schools, the amount varying from $450
— 14 —
to $1250 according to equipment. The law makes provision, how-
ex er, for the teaching of agriculture, home economics, and other
industrial and vocational subjects. To secure the state aid it is
necessary that the schools employ "teachers holding certificates
showing their qualifications to teach said subjects."
3. Teaching Agriculture, Home Economics and Manual Training.
Chapter 248 of the Acts of the last General Assembly makes pro-
vision as follows: "The teaching of elementary agriculture, domes-
tic science and manual training shall after the first day of July,
1915, be required in the public schools of the state, * * * *
and after the date aforesaid elementary agriculture and domestic
science shall be included among the subjects required in the exam-
ination of applicants for teachers' certificates.
4. Twelve Weeks Normal Training. The law relating to the
qualifications of teachers as passed by the last General Assembly
makes provision that after July 1, 1915, applicants for teachers'
certificates shall have had at least 12 weeks of normal training.
This does not apply to the graduates of accredited colleges and to
teachers who have had at least six months' successful teaching ex-
perience.
Two Summer Sessions of six weeks each will be considered as
the equivalent of twelve weeks of continuous work.
The State Educational Board of Examiners announces an exam-
ination the last of August (25-26-27) for those completing twelve
weeks of normal training this summer.
The State Educational Board of Examiners limits the amount of
work that may be carried to four subjects, one subject being assign-
ed to education, except that penmanship, orthography, or physical
training may be taken as a fifth subject.
5. Six Weeks of Teacher Training for Credit of 3 Points on
Salary. Section 2 of the Minimum Teachers' Wage Law provides
that "every teacher holding either a second or a third grade certi-
ficate who has taught successfully for one year and attended an ap-
proved teachers' training school for a period of six weeks following
shall receive a credit of 3 points in estimating the salary."
The amount of work is limited to four subjects with the pro-
visions indicated under section 4 above.
The Summer Session of the Iowa State College gives teachers an
opportunity to receive help directly in line with all of the legal
provisions indicated above. The work is accredited for the twelve
weeks normal training and for the six weeks of teacher training.
Agriculture, home economics and manual training are the subjects
in which the Iowa State College of all institutions is prepared to
help teachers.

GENERAL COURSES
Heretofore, general courses of brief and summary nature havo
been offered for high school teachers in such a way as to cover in
six weeks the entire field of agriculture. This general course
served a useful purpose for high school teachers when the require-
ments of the law were first put upon us. The present demand,
however, is for more thorough work such as can be secured in the
college credit courses. The requirements of superintendents and
school officials are in line with this same tendency, the general
practice at present being to require a minimum of college credit
work in agriculture to meet the requirements for the preparation
of teachers of the subject. In view of this fact, the introductory
courses in animal husbandry, farm crops, agricultural engineering,
dairying, horticulture and poultry work have been so arranged as
to avoid conflict with each other and so make possible the free
election of introductory courses in so far as the time allotment will
permit. This plan worked out so well last summer that the gen-
eral course for high school teachers was discontinued, teachers
electing instead college credit courses in the various lines. In
planning the 1915 schedule the effort has been made to continue the
introductory courses without conflict and to in like manner arrange
continuation courses with as little conflict as possible.
The general courses are retained for rural and grade teachers
and are extended this year to include 12 weeks of work. These
courses are described under the rural and grade teachers course.
General courses are also continued for farmers in agriculture, and
for homemakers in home economics.
GENERAL AGRICULTURE
S-2. Agriculture. Each summer there have been a few farm-
ers and business men and women desiring to get a general knowl-
edge of the fundamentals of agriculture from the combined scien-

tlflc and practical point of view. The demands of such individuals
vary so much that it is necessary to take up each case
and arrange a schedule accordingly. While one will desire to de-
vote his full time to a study of farm animals, another will desire all
of his time on the study of soils or plants or orcharding. It has
been found possible to meet these demands quite fully and to give
a combination Of work which will enable each individual to get
economically the practical information which he desires. Since

those asking for this particular course do not ask for college credit,
they are given considerable freedom, the sole purpose being to
meet their demand in a satisfactory way. It is suggested that in-
dividuals knowing before hand that they will ask for this course
write somewhat in detail the work which they desire. This will
give an opportunity for consultation in arranging the course satis-
factorily.
HOMEMAKERS' COURSES
The division of Home Economics will offer beginning and con-
tinuation courses of a very practical nature for homemakers of the
state who may desire to take advantage of the summer work. This
work has always been very popular because of its intensely prac-
tical nature and this summer it has been decided to offer all
courses coordinately, that is, without any prerequisite require-
ments. It will be further observed that some of these courses are
arranged in such way as to devote two weeks to a particular sub-
ject. This will make it possible for women from the home who
can come only for two weeks to get a definite unit of work. The
description of the homemakers' courses follows herewith:
S-30. Dressmaking. Especially designed for women who
wish to do home sewing. It will include the alteration and use of
commercial patterns, pattern making, designing, copying good
styles and garment making. Lectures will be given each week on
costume, good and bad taste in dress, renovation, care of clothing,
etc. A choice will be given in the garment to be made including
underwear, blouses, tailored dress.
S-31. Textiles, Millinery, Clothing. This course includes three
separate courses. It is planned for students who are especially
interested in some one line of work, and is arranged so that any
one of the courses may be taken alone if desired. Two weeks each
will be given to each of the following:
1. Use of the dress form in home sewing. Work consists of
padding and fitting up a form, and draping and modeling on
the form.
■20—
2. Millinery. Demonstration and laboratory work on methods
of making frames, trimming of hats and the making of
flowers and bows.
3. Textiles. Including a microscopic study of the textile fibers;
development and growth of the textile industry; adultera-
tions of textile fabrics; common weaves and familiarity
with the names of the common material found on the mar-
ket today.
S-35. Cookery. This course is to be divided into three periods
of two weeks each so that those who wish may take the full six
weeks work or any one or two of the two weeks periods.
The first period will include the cooking of meats and the pre-
paration of appetizing dishes from left over meals.
The second period the cooking of vegetables and cereals and
methods of reheating these foods.
The third period the making of quick breads, yeast breads,
and the preparation of beverages.
S-36. Cookery. Discussion of different types of table service
including the preparation and serving of typical meals, illustrating
suitable food combinations. Food adapted to the needs of children
during different periods of growth will be considered as well as the
preparation, selection and serving of foods for the sick.
S-40. Home Problems. This course is designed for women who
do not wish to enter for laboratory work but desire to secure in-
formation along the lines of the latest developments in household
problems, and who desire a scientific basis for home practices. Dis-
cussions of selection, preparation and use of foods and clothing
will be accompanied by demonstrations and illustrations. Provision
will be made for informal discussion. School and public sanita-
tion and hygiene as problems relating to the life and health of the
family will be considered. Problems of the home, its plan, decora-
tion, care and management will be considered and modern household
appliances and conveniences illustrated or demonstrated. The
lectures and discussions of the rural life conference will be open to
women entered in this course.
RURAL AND GRADE TEACHERS' COURSE
Tuition Free.
(Students who are high school graduates may take college credit
work upon payment of the fee).
This course is offered to enable rural and grade teachers to have
the advantages of the unusual facilities, of the Iowa State College
in preparation for teaching agriculture, home economics, and man-
ual training in the public schools in an intelligent and effective
manner. The instruction will emphasize the elementary side of
the subjects, giving particular attention to methods of preparing
material, and of organizing the work in rural schools. The lab-
oratories and teaching equipment of the college, including the lib-
rary and the experiment farms, will be available to the students,
but the aim throughout will be to so handle the work as to illus-
trate the possibilities of doing the work effectively under rural
school conditions. The primary object of the course is to give
work in the industrial subjects to present and prospective teachers,
and other work will he offered only when carried along with indus-
trial work.
— 21 —
The work is arranged to meet legal requirements (see page 13.)
Admission to this course requires graduation from the common
schools and the recommendation of the county superintendent of
schools.
This course makes provision for the following work:
1. General Agriculture S-3. This course is planned after con-
sultation with the state department so as to meet the require-
ments of teachers who are preparing to teach agriculture in the
rural and grade schools. The course will deal with the phases of
agriculture that can be taught to the best advantage in the rural
schools and will consist of class, laboratory and demonstration
work. Topics included in this beginning course of six weeks are
soils and soil fertility, culture and improvement of crops, especial-
ly of corn, seed corn selection, storing, testing, and judging, weeds
and weed eradication, bacteria, fungi and insects, orchards and
orcharding, gardening for home and school, the propagation of
plants and related topics suitable for rural schools.
2. General Agriculture S-4. This is a continuation of the
course described in the paragraph above. Topics dealt with are
farm animals, including horses, cattle, sheep and swine but with
particular emphasis upon poultry. Poultry is considered by the
state department and others as a topic particularly adapting itself
for treatment in the rural and grade schools. The course will give
the student a definite knowledge of the qualities to expect in good
stock and will consider selection, improvement, care and manage-
ment. Attention will also be given to dairying including the use of
the Babcock test.
3. Home Economics S-3 8. This is the introductory course for
rural and grade teachers. The work will be done under conditions
and with equipment that can be easily duplicated in the rural
schools. For part of the work a specially devised rural school
Home Economics Equipment for Rural Schools.
—22—
home economics cabinet will be used. The emphasis will be placed
upon the planning of a suitable course of lessons, demonstration
with the pupils of the model school as a class, lesson planning,
cooperation with the home and necessary equipment. The purpose
is to give the teacher a definite plan so that she will willingly carry
out the work in her school next winter.
4. Home Economics S-32. Sewing. This course carries for-
ward the sewing work done in S-38 and is intended to give the
teacher a more thorough knowledge of the subject. The emphasis
will be upon plain sewing but help will be given upon the selection
and use of materials, and the practical work of cutting, fitting,
finishing and repairing of garments.
5. Home Economics S-37. Cooking. This course is a contin-
uation of the cooking work in S-38. It is intended to give a more
thorough knowledge and is adapted throughout to the work in the
rural schools. Subjects treated are food preparation, serving of
meals, economical menus and other work according to the interest
and ability of the class. The work in this course will be done in
the regular college laboratories.
6. General Manual Training S-6. The introductory course of
six weeks in general manual training will deal with the rougher
and more practical farm problems and includes such exercises as
work bench, saw horse, bench hook, nail box, corn tray, bird house,
hog trough, milking stool, bench vice, seed sample case, chicken
biooder, etc. Because of the bulky nature of the models in the

exercises undertaken in this courss materials will be furnished
without a fee and at the close oi' the course students will be given
an option to purchase the models at actual cost of material.
7. Genera] Manual Training S-7. This will be a continuation of
general manual training S6 but will deal more particularly with
farm home problems. The exercises will require more refined
work and a higher degree of finish and will include the necessary
basis in drawings and reading of the same. The following are
Borne of the exercises which will be undertaken. Book rack, plant
-land, waste basket, medicine case, hall tree, porch swing, bulle-
tin case, screen, small step ladder, sleeve board, fly trap, etc. The
work will be accompanied by readings, lectures and demonstra-
tions. Double period daily.
NOTE: Teachers will \,<- interested in knowing <>r the rutins of the state

—23 —
Home economics students are requested to wear wash dresses in the
cooking laboratories. White aprons, hand towels and holders will also be
required.
S. Manual Training S-14. .Art and Light Metal- Work. Models
and tool processes will be selected from the standpoint of their
service to public school teachers. Among the tool processes taught
will be etching, boring, sawing, cutting with file and chisel, upset-
ting, bending, planishing, hardening, tempering, annealing, fasten-

ing with rivets, bolts, screws, soldering, brazing, coloring and lac-
quering. A special feature of the work will be a design of all pro-
cesses made.
9. Manual Training, S-15. Basketry and Weaving. The work
in this course carries a double purpose; first, to give ability in or-
ganizing such work for the lower grades in school, and, second, to
give actual practice in performing processes that are useful in the
school and that are personally useful to the individual.
10. Other Certificate Subjects. Other subjects for rural and
grade teachers as required for the first grade certificate will be
available in this course only when taken along with industrial sub-
jects. All subjects will be taught by competent teachers.
In handling the work of the common branches the effort is to
give a good pedagogical view of each subject, thus meeting fully
the requirements of the State Educational Board of Examiners
with reference to these subjects. The courses are not review
courses and yet experience indicates that the type of work given is
the best review, even for examination, as it gives a good compre-
hensive teachers view of any particular subject.
For lack of space description of the other certificate subjects are
not given herewith but there is no hesitation in announcing that
the work in each subject is on a thoroughly progressive and helpful
basis.
Work is offered in algebra, arithmetic, civics, drawing, econom-
ics, education (didactics), geography, history, music, orthography,
penmanship, physics, physical training, reading, and writing.
While provision is made for work in all of the subjects required
for first grade certificate in addition to agriculture, home econom-
ics and manual training, teacI'.TS who enter upon work in this
course are urged to make a schedule which will enable them to

niroup.
and still give very nearly all of the time to agriculture, home eco-
nomics and manual training. Education must be taken to meet
the requirements of the law, but that leaves a possibility of three-
fourths of the time on industrial subjects. However, it may be
better for a particular teacher to put some of the time on other
subjects, as arithmetic, English, etc. The course is arranged to
meet this need.
Primary Methods. For primary and lower grade teachers there
is offered a course in primary methods which may be taken in-
stead of the regular course in didactics offered for the second six
weeks of normal training. Rural teachers who have difficulty with
primary work will find this course advantageous. It will deal
particularly with primary reading, busy work and special problems
of the primary teacher. Observation opportunities in the model
school are offered with this work.
Fees in General Courses. The courses in industrial subjects
necessarily require laboratory work and the use of materials. It is
customary for students to pay the actual cost of materials used.
This is not a loss to the student, for in many cases the finished pro-
duct is worth much more than the cost of materials. This is parti-
cularly true in manual training and sewing. The fees are there-
26
fore in the nature of deposits to pay for material actually used. An
exception to the rule is made in connection with the beginning
course in manual training for rural and grade teachers. No fee is
charged; the completed models become the property of the college,
but may be taken by student on payment of the cost of the mater-
ials used. This exception is made because of the size of the models,
their practical character and the possibility that some students may
not be able to take their models to their homes or schools.
For the different general courses the fees have been estimated
as follows:
Agriculture S-2 — No fee.
General Agriculture S-3 — Fee 25c.
General Agriculture S-4 — Fee 25c.
Home Economics S-30 — Fee $1.00.
Home Economics S-31 — Fee $1.00.
Home Economics S-32 — Fee $1.00.
Home Economics S-3 5 — Fee $3.00.
Home Economics S-36 — Fee $3.00.
Home Economics S-37 — Fee $3.00.
Home Economics S-38 — Fee $1.00.
Home Economics S-40 — Fee $2.00.
General Manual Training S-6 — No fee.
General Manual Training S-7 — Deposit $2.00.
General Manual Training S-14 — Deposit $2.00.
General Manual Training S-15 — Deposit $2.00.
COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES
There are many who wish to take some of the regular college
courses either because of the intrinsic value of the work to them in
a practical way or as a part of a regular college course to be com-
pleted later.
The courses described below are the same as those offered during
the college year and will be taught by the regular college faculty.
The descriptions are quoted from the regular College Catalog.
As the Summer Session is approximately one third the length of
a college semester, the number of hours per week devoted to a
course in the Summer Session will be three times what is shown in
the descriptions below. Six hours per week constitutes full work
in these college courses. There is little doubt but that the num-
bers in each course will justify offering it.
A resolution adopted by the Iowa Council of Education a year
ago last November indicated about thirty-two hours of technical
agriculture of a college grade as the minimum for a regular teacher
of agriculture in the high school. This amount of work will easily
be secured in successive Summer Sessions. The work in agricul-
ture offered during the summer of 1915, includes twenty-seven
courses, with a total of 57 credit hours. The prospective student
who is looking forward to several Summer Sessions in succession
is advised to plan his work so as to cover the field in a reasonable
manner and meet the minimum requirements as suggested by the
Iowa Council of Education.

SCHEDULE FOR SECOND HALF
Schedule for the second half of the Summer Session will be de-
finitely determined during the first week of the first half. Students
and teachers desiring work during the second half are asked to bear
this in mind and are asked to get their askings to the director of
the Summer Session before the first week of the first half. This
co-operation will make it possible to meet the demands of teachers
and others for work without any more repetition than is absolutely
required.
College Credit Work. Many requests have already come in from
high school men, superintendents and others, indicating that they
will be present for the entire 12 weeks and asking for work of a
college grade during this entire time. It now seems quite certain
that the following courses will be offered during + v .e second half:
Animal Husbandry 20, Farm Crops 1 and 2, Horticulture 33 and
38, Poultry 46-47, Botany 61, Chemistry 108 and 110, Psychology
8, 12, and work in Agricultural Education.
General Courses. In the general courses work will be carried
forward in all of the lines enabling teachers who are preparing to
teach the new subjects to get the full 12 weeks work as recom-
mended by the State Educational Board of Examiners. In order to
effect as great economy as possible the general course in agricul-
ture for the first half will not be repeated during the second half.
The same is true of the work in home economics and in manual
training, but the work will be carried forward for the full 12 weeks.
Those who have attended the summer session heretofore will find
a continuation of work during the first six weeks.
MODEL SCHOOL PROGRAM
Room 1 Central, Grades, First, Second and Third.
Room 3 Central, Grades, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth.
NOTE : Work in the model school begins at 8 o'clock and continues until
11 :30. In the lower grades emphasis will be placed upon reading, Ian.
guage. numbers, busy work. History, geography and nature work will be
secondary and more or less related to the language and story work.
The work in the upper grades will place greater emphasis upon English,
arithmetic, physiology and history and will also demonstrate the possibili-
ties of work in home economics and agriculture. The rural school plan
on home economics work will be demonstrated three days each week. The
work in agriculture will be correlated with the school plot at the college and
the home project work being carried by the pupils. Definite schedule of
program is not here given because of the necessity of changing the pro-
gram in order to properly accommodate the work for observation purposes.
SUGGESTIONS TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
1. Read carefuly the description of the various courses and
other matter in this bulletin, and if the information is not suf-
ficiently specific, do not hesitate to write for particulars.
2. Fill out and mail the information blank on page 43 which
will give us an idea of your demands. This places you under no
obligations, but it gives the Director of the Summer Session a bet-
ter basis for making plans to handle the work on an efficient basis
when you arrive. For limitations on the amount of work that may
be carried in the rural and grade teachers' course see page 14 of
this bulletin.
3. Upon your arrival at the depot in Ames, make yourself
42-
known to a member of the Reception Committee, who will be
recognized by the college badge. If for any reason you miss the
committee, take the college car to the college, and get off at the
Farm Station. Go direct to Agricultural Hall. The Bureau of In-
formation will be found in the east corridor of the main floor.
Opportunity will be there offered for checking your grips until you
have located a room and are ready for them.
If you come on the interurban, get off at the Campus.
4. The following is the plan of registration:
(1) Go to the Registrar's office, fill out the two cards
there furnished you, pay the Summer Session fee (or deposit
certificates signed by your superintendent entitling you to free
tuition in rural and grade teachers' course), and obtain a
receipt.
(2) Go to room 110, Agricultural Hall, for classification.
Have in mind the work which you want as definitely as pos-
sible, but do not hesitate to ask questions and be fully advised
before completing classification.
(3) If any of your courses carry laboratory fees, fee cards
may be secured from the instructors, and fees paid at the
Treasurer's office.
5. There are ample accommodations, and advanced notice is not
necessary. The college has been accustomed to handling 2 800
students during the regular year, and knows how to do it right.
However, if your plans are matured sufficiently early, it will assist
in rapid assignment and registration if advanced notice is given.

GENERAL INFORMATION
General Statement. — Summer
Session work was offered by the
Iowa State College for the first
time in 1911. In that summer a
short course extending over
two weeks was attended by
about fifty superintendents
and high school teachers of
the state. Since that time the
interest in agriculture and in-
dustrial subjects has increased
tremendously, not only in this
state, but throughout the
United States. At the present
time 22 states require the
teaching of agriculture in the
public schools, and in many
more of the states agriculture is taught, especially in the high schools. In
1912 the Summer Session w 7 as extended to six weeks, and had a total enroll-
ment of 128 students. The third Summer Session, 1913, enrolled 225
students. These students came from 63 counties of the state and 10 states
of the Union.
The Summer Session in 1914 had a total attendance of 618. They
represented 96 counties in the state, 15 states and 6 foreign countries.
Eighty-eight per cent of them were teachers in the public schools and not
in attendance during the regular college year. Last summer the enrollment
increased to 1054, the character of the enrollment remaining about the
same. The enrollment in the classes in industrial subjects and the hearty
response of the teachers to this work, show the wisdom of the legislature
in passing the law relating to the teaching of these subjects in the public
schools.
Teachers in service can be helped best through the Summer Session, and
in a large measure, at least, they have a right to the advantages of the
unusual equipment of the Iowa State College. This is especially true since
the legislation requiring the teaching of the industrial subjects in the
public school. No other institution in the middle west has a better selected
faculty, or more adequate equipment than the Iowa State College.
Who May Properly Attend. On account of the easy conditions of
entrance, many receive benefit from the Summer Session who do not at-
tend during the regular year. The following should be particularly in-
9ted in the Summer Session:
1. ALL TEACHEKS, or persons expecting to teach next year, may use
the Summer Session to secure work in the industrial subjects as required by
the recent legislation. Teachers in the elementary schools will find profitable
work in the Rural and Grade Teachers' Course. High school teachers may
secure strong work along particular lines as listed under college credit
courses.
2. SUPERINTENDENTS, PRINCIPALS AND SUPERVISORS. The
large number of superintendents and principals who have been enrolled
in the Summer Session in the past indicates clearly that it is serving them
to good advantage, and meeting a special need which they feel for getting
acquainted with the newer subjects of manual training and agriculture, or
of pursuing courses in agricultural education. An examination of the Iowa
Directory indicates that agriculture is taught in the high schools of the
state by the superintendents more often than by any other single group.
Beginning and advanced courses are offered in the present session in soils,
farm crops, animal husbandry, dairying, agricultural engineering, horti-
culture, and in the related subjects of rural sociology, agricultural econ-
omics, agricultural education, botany, bacteriology, etc. The Summer Ses-
sion gives such superintendents and principals an opportunity to secure
work of a high character under regular college instruction and under fav-
orable conditions.
3. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS. Six weeks at the Iowa State Col-
lege would be unusually helpful in view of the rapid development of the
new subjects in the schools.
4. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES will find an opportunity to start
the college course. High school graduates who think of entering the Iowa
State College in the fall of 1916 may take advantage of the Summer
Session to become acquainted with college methods and to secure work to-
wards graduation. Increasing numbers are taking advantage of the
Summer Session for this purpose.
5. REGULAR STUDENTS IN THE IOWA STATE COLLEGE may
make up back work, shorten their course by doing advanced work or in-
crease their electives.
6. STUDENTS in other colleges who are interested in the industrial
work and related lines will find other colleges willing to substitute credits
made at this institution.
7. FORMER GRADUATES may complete the necessary work in psy-
chology and agricultural education in order to secure the first grade state
certificate.
8. ANY MATURE INDIVIDUAL who gives evidence of ability to
carry the work with profit will be admitted without examination, but such
individual must satisfy the department concerned as to his ability to carry
the work.
9. RURAL AND VILLAGE MINISTERS will find especially valuable
help in the Rural Life Conference. Bankers, farmers, rural leaders, mothers
and daughters will find a welcome, an atmosphere of culture and inspira-
tion, and practical help for their work.
Conditions of Admission. All students who can profit by the in-
struction offered will be admitted without examination. It is presumed
that all applying for admission have a serious purpose, and are interested
in the industrial work. College credit will be granted, however, only to
those who meet standard entrance requirements.
Courses and Credits. Nearly one hundred college credit courses are
offered. Thirty-two of these are in agriculture. An average student
should be able to make six hours credit during a single half of the Sum-
mer Session. All courses offered are completed during a single half of the
ftu turner Session by increasing the number of recitations per week. There
are no split courses. A student desiring to carry more than six (or six and
a fraction) hours of college credit work will be required to make applica-
tion for permission to take extra work, application being countersigned
by the instructors involved. The committee on extra work will meet Satur-
day evening, June 10.
Late Entrance. Because of the rapidity with which the work moves in
;i short session, students should enter LB time to attend the first session
of all cdasses. Work begins at, 1:00 P. M. on Monday, June 12. Work in
the new industrial subjects has laboratory periods, and students should
therefore plan to be present for the first meeting of the class.
General Courses. In the general courses students will be given more
freedom as to the number of hours to be carried, with this proviso, that
in case they desire certificates under the new Legislation requiring twelve
weeks of professional training, or increased wages because of attending
a Summer Session for six weeks, they will be limited in the amount of
work that can be carried according to the regulations sent out by the
State Educational Board of Examiners.
Special Work. Students wishing to do advanced or other special work
not announced in this bulletin should communicate at an early date with
the Director of the Summer Session, or with the professor in whose de-
partment they wish to work. Consideration may be given to a sufficient
number of requests.
Meeting Residence Requirements for a Degree Through Summer
Session Work. Because of the largely increased attendance at the Sum-
mer Session, provision has been made for the satisfying of residence re-
quirements for a degree on the basis of four Summer Sessions of six weeks
each. The amount of work required for the degree will need to be supple-
mented by work in absence, or by correspondence.
The Summer Session offers opportunity for graduate work in agriculture
and related sciences. The number of graduate students in the Summer
Session is increasing each year. Resident requirements for the master's
degree may be met by attending the Summer Session for six weeks during
three consecutive summers and carrying work in absentia. For a detailed
statement as to graduate work, address R. A. Pearson, Acting Dean of the
Graduate Division.
Fees. The single Summer Session fee of $5.00 for each half of six
weeks, covers work in all courses with the exception of the Music De-
partment. The fee for less than the full time is $1.00 a week, with $2.00
as a minimum. Any laboratory fees are indicated in connection with the
descriptions of the courses. In the Rural and Grade Teachers' Course,
there are no incidental fees. No fee is charged for attendance at the Rural
Life Conference.
Room and Board. Room and board is available in private homes and
at the college dormitories at prices which are customary throughout Iowa.
The cafe in Alumni Hall will be open during the entire Summer Session,
and will be managed on the cafeteria plan.
Women will arrange for room through the regular college committee of
which Mrs. Emily Cunningham is chairman. The college dormitories will
be open for women students for board and room. A uniform rate of $5.00
a week will be charged for board and room in the dormitories where two
occupy the same room. After the dormitories are filled, Mrs. Cunningham
will assign women to selected houses about the campus, where the regular
college rules will apply. In the dormitories and private homes alike, mat-
tresses only are furnished for the cots, so that students should bring a pil-
low, sheets, pillow cases, and an extra blanket.
Women rooming in private homes may secure board at the college dormi-
tory dining rooms at the regular rate.
Rooms for men will be available in private homes and rooming houses
about the campus. Rooming arrangements for men will be in charge of
Fred M. Hansen, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Expenses. Expenses will vary with the individual. For six weeks the
expenses need not exceed $40 or $45, in addition to car fare. This makes
provision for tuition, $5.00; room and board for six weeks, $30.00; books
and laundry, $5.00, and other incidentals.
Certificates. Students satisfactorily completing any of the general
courses offered in the six weeks' Summer Session will, upon request, be
given a certificate showing attendance and grades. Most teachers will de-
sire that attendance count toward the satisfaction of the recent law re-
quiring twelve weeks of professional training, or the law giving certain
credits for attendance at a six weeks' Summer Session.
The State Board of Education Examiners will grant five-year first-grade
<
certificates to graduates of the Town State College or other approved col-
leges who have completed (a) six semester-hours of psychology, and (b)
fourteen hours of education. The courses offered in the Summer Session
enable students to meet these requirements.
Teachers' Examination. The State Teachers' examination for June and
July will be held at the college during the Summer Session for the con-
fluence of teachers in attendance. One expecting to take an examination
at the college should bring with him a statement from the county superin-
tendent which will admit to the examination. It is also advised that the
fee be paid to the county superintendent although where such fee has not
been previously paid it will be collected and forwarded to the county super-
intendent.
The Appointment Committee. In order to better serve the schools of
the state, the faculty lias provided a regular Appointment Committee, the
duties of which are to assist the students of the College who desire to en-
ter educational work in finding the positions for which they are best fitted,
and to aid school officials in finding the teachers, principals, supervisors and
superintendents best prepared for the positions to be filled. Students of
the Summer Session who intend to teach or wish to better their positions,
are invited to register with this committee. Blanks which are provided for
that purpose may be secured by calling at the office of the Director of the
Summer Session, Room 318, Agricultural Hall. No fee is charged for the
services of this committee.
Chapel. Chapel services are held Tuesday of each week from 7:40 to
8:00 o'clock A. M. This is more or less in the nature of a convocation, as
well as a chapel service, and furnishes opportunity for announcements or
for brief remarks upon subjects of immediate interest.
Each Sunday evening, vesper services are held from 6:15 to 6:45 at the
campanile when the weather is favorable. In case of inclement weather,
the meeting is held in Agricultural Assembly.
Students' Mail. Students will avoid inconvenience by having their mail
addressed, temporarily at least, to Station A, Ames, Iowa. This postoffice is
located upon the College campus, and mail may be called for conveniently.
Summer Employment. Students coming for the short Summer Session
are not advised to seek employment but to give their full time to school
work. This is particularly urged in the case of teachers desiring to meet
the requirements of the State Educational Board of Examiners with refer-
ence to normal training or the three points on salary or who desire to take
the new subjects (Agriculture, Home Economics, and Manual Training)
and have the grades in these subjects transferred direct to the certificate.
There are usually some summer calls for help. Students may learn of
these calls through Mr. Fred M. Hansen, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Recreation. While the primary object of the Summer Session is work
and study, yet these will be facilitated by a sufficient amount of recreation.
Students are urged to effect organizations and to arrange for tournaments
in tennis, baseball, track, or indoor work. The Committee on Games and
Recreation will encourage and help in organizing the details of this work.
Play hour, 7 to 9 Friday evenings.
Tenting Privilege. The privilege of tenting in the north woods will
be continued this summer. There is no charge for tenting space but at
present the space is limited. It will be well to arrange in advance for the
privilege. Tents may be brought along or rented of tenting companies.
One company in Des Moines makes a price of $5 for six weeks for a 10
foot by 12 foot tent.
Special Features. One feature of the Summer Session which is par-
ticularly worth while is the opportunity to hear educators of national repu-
tation. Last year's policy of selecting a limited number of men whose ad-
dresses no one can afford to miss will be continued this year. These lee-
tures for the most part are scheduled for the evening; occasionally, how-
ever, at 5:00.
Shakespearean Festival. On Thursday, June 22, the Ben Greet Wood-
land Players of national fame, will give a matinee and evening performance
on the college campus. The program as at present planned will be as
follows :
Afternoon matinee : "A Comedy of Errors. ' '
Evening performance: "Borneo and Juliet."
The charge will be reasonable and the announcement of this festival is
made with confidence that it will be appreciated by the Summer School
students.
Vocational Education and Vocational Guidance. The course in voca-
tional education and vocational guidance by Mrs. Anna L. Burdick, Voca-
tional Supervisor of the Des Moines Schools, will be continued during the
Manual Training Benches made by Rural and Grade Teachers, 1915
Summer Session
present Summer Session and will be further supplemented by special lectures
by Dr. C. A. Prosser, presidenl of the Dunwoody [ndustrial Institute of
Minneapolis, and formerly secretary of the National Society for the Promo-
tion of Industrial Education. This Line of work has proven of unusual in-
terest to Summer Session students.
The Model School. The popular, two-room, consolidated Model School
will be continued, in charge of competenl critic teachers. Eegular work
in observation ami methods will be offered for students in the general
, .Hid the work of the model school will he used in the regular College
in agricultural education. Courses offered in Agricultural Educa-
tion will include Principles and Methods of Education, Rural Education,
I
—9—
Secondary Education, and School Administration. This will enable us to
serve directly the rural teacher, the grade teacher, the agricultural high
school teacher, and the school administrator. The Model School provides the
laboratory opportunity of demonstrating the best in educational methods.
Boys' and Girls' Club Work. The growing interest in boys' and
girls' club work and its rapid development throughout the state has lead
to an arrangement by which Professor Bishop and his assistants will give
special lectures and demonstrations during the Summer Session. The work
given will enable students to get a sufficient understanding to organize and
carry forward club work in their respective communities.
Library. The library of the Iowa State College while not unusually
la roe is well selected and it is so managed as to make it serviceable to all
students during the Summer Session.
Equipment. The equipment of the Iowa State College for work in agri-
culture, home economics, manual training and related subjects is in keeping
with the wealth and resources of the State. In many respects, the Sum-
mer Session is the best season of the year for studying agriculture and
the regular college instructors in charge of the work use freely the re-
sources of the college and the experiment station.
Location. Ames is almost at the geographical center of the state of
Iowa, on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. It is
about thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, with which it is connected by
a branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and by the Fort
Dodge, Des Moines and Southern (interurban) running from Fort Dodge
and Rockwell City to Des Moines. A branch of the Chicago & Northwestern
from Ames penetrates the northern part of the state. Ames is proverbially
a clean town, saloons and billiard halls being unheard of.
Students should plan to arrive on Saturday or Monday. In case
it is absolutely necessary to arrive on Sunday, advanced notice should be
given, with the request that rooms be arranged for, at least temporarily.
In case of arrival on Sunday, without advanced notice, phone 652, the
residence phone of the Director of the Summer Session.
Rural Life Conference. The Kural Life Conference will open on Mon-
day, June 19th, and close Friday evening, June 30th. The last three days
will be in the form of a convention and will be of special interest to rural
ministers and to residents and teachers of rural communities.
In the past, this conference has been most helpful to Iowa and neighbor-
ing states in stimulating and developing rural leadership. Speakers of note
from the state and nation will appear before the conference.
The lectures in the Rural Life Conference are free to Summer Session
students as well as members of the Conference. For special bulletin giving
detailed program of the Conference, write Dean Chas. F. Curtiss, Chairman
of the Rural Life Conference Committee, or the Director of the Summer
Session.
LEGAL PROVISIONS OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS
A large part of the w T ork offered in the Summer Session is arranged in
direct response to recent legislation. Work is therefore arranged to meet
legal requirements. The law r s of the state encouraging work in agricul-
ture, home economics and manual training are in common with similar laws
throughout the entire United States. The movement for the industrial
work in the schools is not local nor is it transitory. It is gathering force
each year. It is simply the recognition of the fact that education to be
effective must be connected up directly with the work and dominant in-
terests of the people. The government census show's that 68% of the
people of Iowa are rural and that 49.2% are actually living upon farms.
This makes agriculture the one dominant occupation of the state. For
women, of course, home economics is the one great interest but women
living on the farm are almost equally interested in farm operations. While
-10—
Iowa is not a large manufacturing state at present, the output of factories
is increasing steadily each year. Industry in one form or another takes
most of the time of every one and there is no reason why our education
should not connect up more and more with industry which shall put joy
and satisfaction as well as scientific insight into all industrial and manual
occupations.
Any county superintendent can instruct teachers as to the legal require-
ments or the requirements of the State Educational Board of Examiners
with reference to the new subjects or with reference to the six weeks or
twelve weeks of Normal Training. The Summer Session of the Iowa State
College is accredited for work in all of these lines. Agriculture, home
economics and manual training are the subjects in which the Iowa State
College of all institutions is prepared to help teachers.

GENERAL COURSES
High School teachers are more and more interested in securing regular
college credit work in agriculture, so that the general course for high school
teachers is no longer continued. Superintendents and high school teachers
can secure a combination of work in different departments which will en-
able them to secure a general view of the subject in a single summer if
necessary. However, for rural and grade teachers, and for farmers, busi-
ness men and home-makers, general courses are continued.
GENERAL AGRICULTURE
S-2. Agriculture. Each summer there have been a few farmers and
business men and women desiring to get a general knowledge of the funda-
mentals of agriculture from the combined scientific and practical point of
view. The demands of such individuals vary so much that it is necessary
to take up each case and arrange a schedule accordingly. While one will
desire to devote his full time to a study of farm animals, another will de-
sire all of his time on the study of soils or plants or orcharding. It has
been found possible to meet these demands quite fully and to give a com-
bination of work which will enable each individual to get economically the
practical information which he desires. Since those asking for this partic-
ular course do not ask for college credit, they are given considerable free-
dom, the sole purpose being to meet their demand in a satisfactory way.
It is suggested that individuals knowing before hand that they will ask
for this course write somewhat in detail the work which they desire. This
will give an opportunity for consultation in arranging the course satis-
factorily.
HOMEMAKERS' COURSE
The division of Home Economics will offer beginning and continuation
courses of a very practical nature for homemakers of the state who may
desire to take advantage of the summer work. This work has always been
very popular because of its intensely practical nature and this summer it has
been decided to offer all courses coordinately, that is, without any prere-
quisite requirements. It will be further observed that some of these
courses arc arranged in such way as to devote two weeks to a particular
subject. This will make it possible for women from the home who can
come only for two weeks to get a definite unit of work. The description
of the homemakers' courses follows herewith:
8 30. Dressmaking. Especially designed for women who wish to do
home sewing. It will include the alteration and use of commercial patterns,
pattern making, designing, copying good styles and garment making. Lec-
tures will be given each week on COStume, good and bad taste in dress,
renovation, care of clothing, etc. A choice will be given in the garment to
be made including underwear, blouses, tailored dress.
8-31. Textiles, Millinery, Clothing. This course includes three sep-
arate Courses. It is planned for students who are ('Specially interested iii
some one line of work, and is arranged so that any one of the courses may
be taken alone if desired. Two weeks each will be given to each of the
following :
I. I've of the dress form in home sewing. Work consist s of padding and
fitting up a form, and draping and modeling on the form.
'J. Millinery. Demonstrations and laboratory work on methods of mak-
ing frames, trimming of hats and the making of flowers and bows.
—15—
3. Textiles. Including a microscopic study of the textile fibers; de-
velopment and growth of the textile industry; adulterations of tex-
tile fabrics; common weaves and familiarity with the names of the
common material found on the market today.
• s 35. Cookery. This course is to be divided into three periods of two
uvi ks each so that those who wish may take the full six weeks work or
any one or two of the two w T eeks periods.
The first period will include the cooking of meats and the prepara-
tion of appetizing dishes from left over meals.
The second period, the cooking of vegetables and cereals and methods
of reheating these foods.
The third period, the making of quick breads, yeast breads, and the
preparation of beverages.
S-36. Cookery. Discussion of different types of table service including
the preparation and serving of typical meals, illustrating suitable food
combinations. Food adapted to the needs of children during different
periods of growth will be considered as well as the preparation, selection
and serving of foods for the sick.
S-40. Home Problems. This course is designed for women who do not
wish to enter for laboratory work but desire to secure information along
the lines of the latest developments in household problems, and who desire
a scientific basis for home practices. Discussions of selection, preparation
and use of foods and clothing will be accompanied by demonstrations and
illustrations. Provision will be made for informal discussion. School and
public sanitation and hygiene as problems relating to the life and health of
the family will be considered. Problems of the home, its plan, decoration,
care and management will be considered and modern household appliances
and conveniences illustrated or demonstrated. The lectures and discussions
of the rural life conference will be open to women entered in this course.
RURAL AND GRADE TEACHERS' COURSE
Tuition Free
(Students who are high school graduates may take college credit work
upon payment of the fee).
This course is offered to enable rural and grade teachers to have the ad-
vantages of the unusual facilities of the Iowa State College in preparation
for teaching agriculture, home economics, and manual training in the public
schools in an intelligent and effective manner. The instruction will empha-
size the elementary side of the subjects, giving particular attention to
methods of preparing material, and of organizing the work in rural schools.
The laboratories and teaching equipment of the college, including the
library and the experiment farms, will be available to the students, but the
aim throughout will be to so handle the work as to illustrate the possibilities
of doing the work effectively under rural school conditions. The primary
objedt of the course is to give work in the industrial subjects to present
and prospective teachers, and other work will be offered only when carried
along with industrial work.
The work is arranged to meet legal requirements.
Admission to this course requires graduation from the common
schools and the recommendation of the county superintendent of
schools.
This course makes provision for the following work:
1- General Agriculture S-3. This course is planned after consultation
with the state department so as to meet the requirements of teachers who
are preparing to teach agriculture in the rural and grade schools. The
course will deal with the phases of agriculture that can be taught to the
best advantage in the rural schools and will consist of class, laboratory ami
demonstration work. Topics included in this beginning course of six weeks
C/3
—17—
are soils and soil fertility, culture and improvement of crops, especially of
corn, seed corn selection, storing, testing, and judging, weeds and weed
eradication, bacteria, fungi and insects, orchards and orcharding, garden-
ing for home and school, the propagation of plants and related topics suit-
able for rural schools.
-. General Agriculture S-4. This is a continuation of the course de-
scribed in the paragraph above. Topics dealt with are farm animals, in-
cluding horses, cattle, sheep and swine but with particular emphasis upon
poultry. Poultry is considered by the state department and others as a
topic particularly adapting itself for treatment in the rural and grade
schools. The course will give the student a definite knowledge of the quali-
ties to expect in good stock and will consider selection, improvement, care
and management. Attention will also be given to dairying including the
use of the Babcock test.
3. Home Economics S-38. This is the introductory course for rural
and grade teachers. The work will be done under conditions and with
equipment that can be easily duplicated in the rural schools. For part of
the work a specially devised rural school home economics cabinet will be
used. The emphasis will be placed upon the planning of a suitable course
of lessons, demonstration with the pupils of the model school as a class,
lesson planning, cooperation with the home and necessary equipment. The
purpose is to give the teacher a definite plan so that she will willingly
carry out the work in her school next winter.
4. Home Economics S-32. Sewing. This course carries forward the
sewing work done in S-38 and is intended to give the teacher a more
thorough knowledge of the subject. The emphasis will be upon plain sew-
ing but help will be given upon the selection and use of materials, and the
practical work of cutting, fitting, finishing and repairing of garments.
5. Home Economics S-37. Cooking. This course is a continuation
of the cooking work in S-38. It is intended to give a more thorough
knowledge and is adapted throughout to the work in the rural schools.
Subjects treated are food preparation, serving of meals, economical menus
and other work according to the interest and ability of the class. The
work in this course will be done in the regular college laboratories.
6. Home Economics S-48. Conferences. Arranged for high school
and grade teachers of Home Economics. Attention to advanced methods,
equipment, texts, and organization of the course of study on modern basis.
7. General Manual Training S-6. The introductory course of six
weeks in general manual training will deal with the rougher and more
practical farm problems and includes such exercises as work bench, saw
horse, bench hook, nail box, corn tray, bird house, hog trough, milking
stool, bench vice, seed sample case, chicken brooder, etc. Because of the
bulky nature of the models in the exercises undertaken in this course ma-
terials will be "furnished without a fee and at the close of the course students
will be given an option to purchase the models at actual cost of material.
8. General Manual Training S-7. This will be a continuation of gen-
eral manual training S-6 but will deal more particularly with farm home
problems. The exercises will require more refined work and a higher de-
gree of finish and will include the necessary basis in drawings and reading
of the same. The following are some of the exercises which will be un-
dertaken: Book rack, plant stand, waste basket, medicine case, hall tree,
porch swing, bulletin case, screen, small step ladder, sleeve board, fly trap,
etc. The work will be accompanied by readings, lectures and demonstra-
tions. Double period daily.
9. Manual Training S-14. Art and Light Metal-Work. Models and
tool processes will be selected from the standpoint of their service to pub-
lic school teachers. Among the tool processes taught will be etching, bor-
ing, sawing, cutting with file and chisel, upsetting, bending, planishing,
hardening, tempering, annealing, fastening with rivets, bolts, screws, solder-
ing, brazing, coloring and lacquering. A special feature of the work will
be a design of all processes made.
-18-
10. Manual Training S-15. Basketry and Weaving. The work in this
course carries a double purpose; first, to give ability in organizing
such work for the lower grades in school, and, second, to give actual prac-
tice in performing processes that are useful in the school and that are
personally useful to the individual.
Note: Teachers will be interested in knowing of the ruling of the state educational
board of examiners to the effect that grades in agriculture, home economics, and man-
ual training when carried successfully for 12 weeks may be transferred direct to the
certificate without further examination.
Home economics students are requested to wear wash dresses in the cooking lab-
oratories. White aprons, hand towels and holders will also be required.
Rural and Grade Teachers in Manual Training, 1915. "The Start'
11. Didactics. The work in didactics for rural and grade teachers will
Ik- further developed during the coming Summer Session to meet the in-
creasing demands of high grade teachers who have been continuing in the
rural and grade teachers' course. Three courses will be offered as follows:
Didactics I. A general course of didactics having in mind the prepara-
tion of the teacher for school work and for passing the examination. The
course will deal with management, study, and the technique of the recitation.
Didactics II. Special methods in arithmetic, geography and history
for the upper grades. Some attention to other subjects.
Didactics III. Primary methods with particular attention to primary
reading, busy work, and the special problems of the primary teacher.
12. Other Certificate Subjects. Other subjects for rural and grade
teachers, as required for the first, grade certificate, will be available for part
tunc along with industrial subjects. All subjects will be taught by com-
I etent teachers.
In handling the work of the common branches, the effort is to give a
good pedagogical view of each subject, thus meeting fully the requirements
of the State Educational Board of Examiners with reference to these sub-
The courses arc no1 review courses and ye1 experience indicates
that the type of work given is the best review, even for examination, as it
ood comprehensive teacher's view of any particular subject.
-19—
For lack of space, description of the other certificate subjects are not
given herewith hut there is no hesitation in announcing that the work in
each subjecl is on a thoroughly progressive and helpful hasis.
Work is offered in algebra, civics, drawing, economics, geography, history,
music, orthography, penmanship, physics, physical training, reading, and
writing.
Rural and grade teachers coming for a single Summer Session are urged
to take advantage of all of the industrial work that it is possible to get
in the course. A teacher may meet the six weeks and twelve weeks re-
quirements and still give very nearly all of the time to agriculture, home
economics and manual training. Education must be taken to meet the re-
quirements of the law, but that leaves a possibility of three-fourths of the

(The Manual Training benches were made by the Students)
time on industrial subjects. However, it may be better for a particular
teacher to put some of the time on other subjects, as arithmetic, English, etc.
The course is arranged to meet this need.
FEES IN GENERAL COURSES
There will be no fees in connection with the work for rural and grade
teachers. In the industrial subjects, students may take the finished product
"ii payment of the actual cost of materials used.
The fees or deposits in the home-makers' courses have been estimated
as follows:
Home Economies S-30 Pee, $1.00
Home Economics S-31 Fee. $1.00
Home Economics S-35 Pee, $3.00
Home Economics 8-36 Fee, $3.00
Home Economics S-40 Fee, $2.00
COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES
There are many who wish to take some of the regular college courses
either because of the intrinsic value of the work to them in a practical way
or as a part of a regular college course to be completed later.
The courses described below are the same as those offered during the
college year and will be taught by the regular college faculty. The descrip-
tions are quoted from the regular College Catalog.
As the Summer Session is approximately one-third the length of a college
semester, the number of hours per week devoted to a course in the Summer
Session will be three times what is shown in the descriptions below.
Six hours per week constitutes full work in these college courses. There is
little doubt but that the numbers in each course will justify offering it.
A resolution adopted by the Iowa Council of Education indicated about
thirty-two hours of technical agriculture of a college grade as the minimum
for a regular teacher of agriculture in the high school. This amount of
work will easily be secured in successive Summer Sessions. The work in
agriculture offered during the summer of 1916 includes additional courses
to meet further demands for agriculture. The prospective student who is
looking forward to several Summer Sessions in succession is advised to plan
his work so as to cover the field in a reasonable manner and meet the min-
imum requirements as suggested by the Iowa Council of Education.

MODEL SCHOOL PROGRAM
Room 1, Central, Grades First and Third.
Room ::, Central, Grades Fifth and Eighth.
Note: Work in the model school begins at 8 o'clock and continues until 11:30. In
the lower grades emphasis will lie placed upon reading, language, numbers, l>usv work.
History, geography and nature work will be secondary and more or less related to the
languagi and tory work.
The work in ili< upper grades will place greater emphasis unon English, arithmetic,
physiology and history and will also demonstrate the possibilities of work in home
economh and agriculture. The rural school plan on home economics work will be
demonstrated three days each week. The work in agriculture will he correlated with
hool plot at the college and the home project work being carried by the pupils.
-I'll' oi program it not here given because of the necessity of changing the
on in order to properly accommodate the work for observation purposes.
SCHEDULE FOR THE SECOND HALF
Schedule for the second half of the Summer Session is indicated below.
It is thought that this will not need to be modified. At any rate, modifica-
tions will be made only when students can be better accommodated.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
1. Bead carefully the description of the various courses and other mat-
ter in this bulletin, and if the information is not sufficiently specific, do not
hesitate to write for particulars.
2. Fill out and mail the information blank on pages 37-38 which will give
us an idea of your demands. This places you under no obligations, but it
gives the Director of the Summer Session a better basis for making plans
to handle the work on an efficient basis when you arrive.
3. Upon your arrival at the depot in Ames, make yourself known to a
member of the Reception Committee, who will be recognized by the college
badge. If for any reason you miss the Committee, take the College Car to
the College. Women should get off at Margaret Hall and go direct to the
office in Margaret Hall for room assignment. Men will get off at the Cen-
tral Station and go to the Y. M. C. A. headquarters in Alumni Hall for
room assignment.
If you come on the Interurban, get off at the Campus.
4. After securing a room, observe the following plan of registration:
(1) Go to the Registrar's office, fill out the two cards there fur-
nished you, pay the Summer Session fee (or deposit certificates signed
by your superintendent entitling you to free tuition in rural and grade
teachers' course), and obtain a receipt.
(2) Regular college students report to their respective deans for
classification.
(3) Others go to room 110, Agricultural Hall, for classification.
Have in mind the work which you want as definitely as possible, but do
not hesitate to ask questions and be fully advised before completing
classification.
(4) If any of your courses carry laboratory fees, fee cards may be
secured from the instructors, and fees paid at the Treasurer's office.
5. There are ample accommodations, and advanced notice is not neces-
sary. The college has been accustomed to handling 3,000 students during
the regular year, and knows how to <lo it right. However, if your plans
are matured sufficiently early, it will assist in rapid assignment and regis-
tration if advanced notice is given.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Summer Session work was of-
fered by the Iowa State College
for the first time in 1911. In
that summer a short course ex-
tending over two weeks was
attended by about fifty su-
perintendents and high
school teachers of the state.
Since that time the interest
in agriculture and industrial
subjects has increased tre-
mendously, not only in this
state, but throughout the
United States. At the pres-
ent time 22 states require
the teaching of agriculture
in the public schools, and in
many more of the states agriculture is taught, especially in the
high schools. In 1912 the Summer Session was extended to six
weeks, and had a total enrollment of 128 students. The third Summer
Session, 1913, enrolled 225 students. These students came from 63
counties of the state and 10 states of the Union.
The Summer Session in 1914 had a total attendance of 618. The
students represented 96 counties in the state, 15 states and 6 foreign
countries. Eighty-eight per cent of them were teachers in the public
schools and not in attendance during the regular college year.
During the last two summers, the enrollment has continued to in-
crease and this hearty response on the. part of teachers shows clearly
the wisdom of the legislature in passing the law requiring the teaching
of the industrial subjects in the public schools. Properly organized and
in the hands of qualified teachers, agriculture, home economics and
manual training adapt themselves admirably as public school subjects.
The subject matter is interesting, worth while, and has a useful out-
come.
General Statement. The college always has recognized its special
responsibility in the training of high school and college teachers of
agriculture, manual training, home economics, and the application of
science to these vocational subjects.
Teachers in service can be helped best through the Summer Session,
and in a large measure they have a right to the advantages of the
unusual equipment of the Iowa State College. This is especially true
since the legislation requiring the teaching of the industrial subjects in
the public schools.
In the forthcoming Summer Session the excellent facilities of the
college, as usual, will be available to the fullest extent to those who
wish to enroll as students.
Who May Properly Attend. On account of the easy conditions of
entrance, many receive benefit from the Summer Session who do not
attend during the regular year. The following should be particularly
interested in the Summer Session;
1. ALL TEACHERS, or persons expecting to teach next year, may
use the Summer Session to secure work in the industrial subjects as
required by the recent legislation. Teachers in the elementary schools
will find profitable work in the Rural and Grade Teachers' Course. High
school teachers may secure strong work along particular lines as listed
under college credit courses.
2. SUPERINTENDENTS, PRINCIPALS AND SUPERVISORS. The
large number of superintendents and principals who have been enrolled
in the Summer Session in the past indicates clearly that it is serving
them to good advantage, and meeting a special need whicn they feel for
getting acquainted with the newer subjects of manual training and ag-
riculture, together with courses in agricultural education. An exam-
ination of the Iowa Directory indicates that agriculture is taught in the
high schools of the state by the superintendents more ofte:i ilian by any
other single group. Beginning and advanced courses are offered in the
present session in soils, farm crops, animal husbandry, dairying, agri-
cultural engineering, horticulture, and in the related subjects of rural
sociology, agricultural economics, agricultural education, botany, bac-
teriology, etc. The Summer Session gives such superintendents and
principals an opportunity to secure work of a high character under
regular college instruction and under favorable conditions.
3. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS. Six weeks at the Iowa State
College would be unusually helpful in view of the rapid development
of the new subjects in the schools.
4. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES will find an opportunity to start
the college course. High school graduates who think of entering the
Iowa State College in the fall of 1917 may take advantage of the Sum-
mer Session to become acquainted with college methods and to secure
work towards graduation. Increasing numbers are taking advantage
of the Summer Session for this purpose.
5. REGULAR STUDENTS IN THE IOWA STATE COLLEGE may
make up back work, shorten their course by doing advanced work, or
increase their electives.
6. STUDENTS in other colleges who are interested in the industrial
work and related lines will find other colleges willing to substitute
credits made at this institution.
7. FORMER GRADUATES may complete the necessary work in
psychology and agricultural education in order to secure the first grade
st fit o f ort i fiffl t p
8. ANY MATURE INDIVIDUAL who gives evidence of ability to
carry the work with profit will be admitted without examination, but
such individual must satisfy the department concerned as to his or her
ability to carry the work.
9. RURAL AND VILLAGE MINISTERS will find especially valuable
help in the Rural Life Conference. Bankers, farmers, rural leaders,
mothers and daughters will find a welcome, an atmosphere of culture
and Inspiration, and practical help for their work.
10. WOMKN of maturity will find particular help in the home-
makers' courses offered during the Summer Session. These courses
have proved popular and have attracted women not only from all parts
of Iowa, but from other states.
Conditions of Admission. All students who can profit by the instruc-
tion offered will be admitted without examination, admission to a par-
ticular course being satisfactory to the professor in charge. It is pre-
sumed thai ;ill applying for admission have a serious purpose, and are
Interei ted in the industrial work. College credit will be granted, how-
ever, only to those who meet standard entrance requirements.
-5-
Studies and Credits. Nearly one hundred college credit studies are
offered. Thirty-six of these are in agriculture. An average student
should be able to make six hours credit during a single half of the Sum-
mer Session. All courses offered are completed during a single half of
the Summer Session by increasing the number of recitations per week.
There are no split courses. A student desiring to carry more than six
(or six and a fraction) hours of college credit work will be required to
make application for permission to take extra work, application being
countersigned by the instructors involved. The committee on extra
work will meet Saturday evening, June 9.
Late Entrance. Because of the rapidity with which the work moves
in a short session, students should enter in time to attend the first ses-
sion of all classes. Work begins at 1:00 P. M. on Monday, June 11.
Courses in the new industrial subjects have laboratory periods, and
student should therefore plan to be present for the first meeting of the
class.
General Courses. In the general courses, students will be given more
freedom as to the number of hours to be carried. The schedule, how-
ever, should be reasonable. Experience proves that a schedule that is
too heavy is unsatisfactory both to the student and to the instructors.
Special Work. Students wishing to do advanced or other special
work not announced in this bulletin should communicate at an early
date with the Director of the Summer Session, or with the professor
in whose department they wish to work. Consideration may be given
to a sufficient number of requests.
Meeting Residence Requirements for a Degree Through Cummer
Session Work. Because of the largely increased attendance at the
Summer Session, provision has been made for the satisfying of resi-
dence requirements for a degree on the basis of four Summer Sessions
of six weeks each. The amount of work required for the degree will
need to be supplemented by work in absence, or by correspondence.
The Summer Session offers opportunity for graduate work in agricul-
ture and related sciences. The number of graduate students in the
Summer Session is increasing each year. Resident requirements for
the master's degree may be met by attending the Summer Session for
Birdseye View of Central Portion of Campus.
-6-
six weeks during three consecutive summers and carrying work in ab-
sentia. For a detailed statement as to graduate work, address R. A.
Pearson, Acting Dean of the Graduate Division.
Fees. The single Summer Session fee of $5.00 for each half of six
weeks, covers work in all courses with the exception of the Music De-
partment. The fee for less than the full time is $1.00 a week, with $2.00
as a minimum; or $1.00 per credit hour for college credit work, with
$2.00 as a minimum. Laboratory fees are indicated in connection with
the descriptions of the courses. In the Rural and Grade Teachers'
Course, there are no incidental fees. No fee is charged for attendance
at the Rural Life Conference.
Room and Board. Room and board is available in private homes and
at the college dormitories at prices which are customary throughout
Iowa. The cafe in Alumni Hall will be open during the entire Summer
Session, and will be managed on the cafeteria plan.
Women will arrange for rooms through the regular college committee
of which Mrs. Emily Cunningham is chairman. The college dormitories
will be open for women students for board and room. A uniform rate
of $5.25 a week will be charged for board and room in the dormitories
where two occupy the same room. After the dormitories are filled,
Mrs. Cunningham will assign women to selected houses about the
campus, where the regular college rules will apply. In the dormitories
and private homes alike, mattresses only are furnished for the cots, so
that students should bring a pillow, sheets, pillow cases and an extra
blanket.
Women rooming in private homes may secure, board at the college
dormitory dining rooms at the regular rate.
Rooms for men will be available in private homes and rooming
houses about the campus. Rooming arrangements for men will be in
charge of Fred M. Hansen, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Expenses* Expenses will vary with the individual. For six weeks the
expenses need not exceed $40 or $45, in addition to car fare. This makes
provision for tuition, $5.00; room and board for six weeks, $31.50;
books and laundry, $5.00, and other incidentals.
Certificates. Students satisfactorily completing any of the general
courses offered in the Summer Session will, upon request, be given a
certificate showing attendance and grades.
The State Board of Educational Examiners will grant five-year, first-
grade certificates to graduates of the Iowa State College or other ap-
proved colleges who have completed (a) six semester-hours of psychol-
ogy, and (b) fourteen hours of education. The courses offered in the
Summer Session enable students to meet these requirements.
Teachers' Examination. The State Teachers' examination for June
and July will be hold at the college during the Summer Session for the
convenience of teachers in attendance. One expecting to take an ex-
amination at the college should bring with him a statement from the
county superintendent, together with county superintendent's receipt
showing payment of fee, which will admit to the examination. Where
such fee has not been previously paid it will be collected and forwarded
to the county superintendent.
The Appointment Committee. In order to better serve the schools of
the state, the faculty has provided a regular Appointment Committee,
the duties of which are to assist the students of the College who desire
to enter educational work in finding positions for which they are best
fitted, and to aid school officials in finding the teachers, principals, su-
pervisors and superintendents besl prepared for the positions to be
filled. Students of the Summer Session who intend to teach or wish to
better their positions, are invited to register with this committee.

Model Summer Practice School.
Blanks which are provided for that purpose may be secured by calling
at the office of the Director of the Summer Session, Room 318, Agricul-
tural Hall. No fee is charged for the services of this committee.
Chapel. Chapel services are held Tuesday of each week from 7:40 to
8:00 o'clock A. M. This is more or less in the nature of a convocation,
as well as a chapel service, and furnishes opportunity for announce-
ments or for brief remarks upon subjects of immediate interest.
Each Sunday evening, vesper services are held from 6:15 to 6:45 at
the campanile when the weather is favorable. In case of inclement
weather, the meeting is held in Agricultural Assembly.
Students' Mail. Students will avoid inconvenience by having their
mail addressed, temporarily at least, to Station A, Ames, Iowa. This
postoffice is located upon the College campus, and mail may be called
for conveniently.
Summer Employment. Students coming for the short Summer Ses-
sion are not advised to seek employment, but to give their full time to
school work. This is particularly urged in the case of teachers desiring
to have the grades in agriculture, home economics and manual training
transferred direct to the certificate.
There are usually some summer calls for help. Students may learn
of these calls through Mr. Fred M. Hansen, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Recreation. While the primary object of the Summer Session is
work and study, yet these will be facilitated by a sufficient amount of
recreation. Students are urged to effect organizations and to arrange
for tournaments in tennis, baseball, track, or indoor work. The Com-
mittee on Games and Recreation will encourage and help in organizing
the details of this work. Play hour, 7 to 9 Friday evenings; educa-
tional moving pictures, 8:00 o'clock Saturday evenings.
Tenting Privilege. The privilege of tenting in the north woods will
be continued this summer. There is no charge for tenting space, but at
present the space is limited. It will be well to arrange in advance for
-8-
the privilege. Tents may be brought along or rented of tenting com
panies. One company in Des Moines makes a price of $5 for six weeks
for a 10 foot by 12 foot tent.
I pecial Features. One feature of the Summer Session which is par-
ticularly worth while is the opportunity to hear educators of national
reputation. Last year's policy of selecting a limited number of men
whose addresses no one can afford to miss will be continued this year.
These lectures for the most part are scheduled for the evening; occa-
sionally, however, at 5:00 o'clock. The following can be announced at
the present time:
Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, President, Armour Institute of Technology,
Chicago.
Dr. C. A. Prosser, President, Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis.
Dr. F. J. Kelly, Dean, School of Education, University of Kansas.
Dr. Charles H. Judd, Dean, School of Education, University of
Chicago.
Shakespearean Festival. The Ben Greet Players will again be pres-
ent during the Summer Session, giving matinee and evening perform-
ances on the college campus. Details of the program will be announced
later. This is an opportunity which Summer Session students greatly
appreciate.
The Model Cchool. The popular two-room, consolidated Model
School will be continued in charge of competent critic teachers. Regu-
lar work in observation and methods will be offered for students in the
general courses, and the work of the model school will be used in the
regular college courses in agricultural education. Courses offered in
Agricultural Education will include Principles and Methods of Educa-
tion, Rural Education, Secondary Education, and School Administra-
tion. This will enable us to serve directly the rural teacher, the
grade teacher, the agricultural high school teacher, and the school ad-
ministrator. The Model School provides the laboratory opportunity
of demonstrating the best in educational methods.
Boys' and Girls' Club Work. The growing interest in boys' and girls'
club work and its rapid development throughout the state has led to an
arrangement by which Professor Bishop and his assistants will give
special lectures and demonstrations during the Summer Session. The
work given will enable students to get a sufficient understanding to or-
ganize and carry forward club work in their respective communities.
Library. The library of the Iowa State College is well selected and
it is so managed as to make it serviceable to all students during the
Summer Session.
Equipment. The equipment of the Iowa State College for work in
agriculture, home economics, manual training and related subjects is in
keeping with the wealth and resources of the State. In many respects,
the Summer Session is the best season of the year for studying agricul-
ture, and the regular college instructors in charge of the work use free-
ly the resources of the college and the experiment station.
Location. Ames is almost at the geographical center of the state of
Iowa, on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. It is
about thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, with which it is connected
by a. branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and by the
Fori Dodge, Des .Moines and Southern (interurban) running from Fort
Dodge and Rockwell City to Des Moines. A branch of the Chicago &
Northwestern from Ames penetrates the northern part of the state.
Ames i: proverbially a clean town, saloons and billiard halls being un-
heard Of.
Students should plan to arrive on Saturday or Monday. In case it is
absolutely necessary to arrive on Sunday, advanced notice should be
.
given, with the request that rooms be arranged for, at least temporari-
ly. In case of arrival on Sunday, without advanced notice, phone 652,
the residence phone of the Director of the Summer Session.
Rural Life Conference. The Rural Life Conference will open on
Tuesday, June 19th, and close Friday evening, June 29th. The last three
days will be in the form of a convention and will be of special interest
to rural ministers and to residents and teachers of rural communities.
In the past, this conference has been most helpful to Iowa and neigh-
boring states in stimulating and developing rural leadership. Speakers
of note from state and nation will appear before the conference. The
public speaking department presented a rural life play last year thai
was particularly appreciated. A special rural life play for Iowa is in
course of preparation by the public speaking department and will bo
presented during the Rural Life Conference.
The lectures in the Rural Life Conference are free to Summer Ses-
sion students, as well as members of the Conference. For special bul-
letin giving detailed program of the Conference, write Dean Chas. F.
Curtiss, Chairman of the Rural Life Conference Committee, or the
Director of the Summer Session.
LEGAL PROVISIONS OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS
A large part of the work offered in the Summer Session is arranged
in direct response to recent legislation. Work is therefore arranged to
meet legal requirements. The laws of the state encouraging work in
agriculture, home economics and manual training are in common with
similar laws throughout the entire United States. The movement for
the industrial work in the schools is not local nor is it transitory. It is
gathering force each year. It is simply the recognition of the fact that
education to be effective must be connected up directly with the work
and dominant interests of the people. The government census shows
that 68% of the people of Iowa are rural and that 49.2% are actually
Husbandi

living upon farms. This makes agriculture the one dominant occupa-
tion of the state. For women, of course, home economics is the one
great interest, but women living on the farm are almost equally inter-
ested in farm operations. While Iowa is not a large manufacturing
state at present, the output of its factories is increasing steadily each
year. Industry in one form or another takes most of the time of every
one and there is no reason why our education should not connect up
more and more with industry which shall put joy and satisfaction as
well as scientific insight into all industrial and manual occupations.
Any county superintendent can instruct teachers as to the legal re-
quirements or the requirements of the State Educational Board of Ex-
aminers with reference to the new subjects. Rural teachers taking
work in agriculture, home economics or manual training may have the
grades in these subjects transferred direct to the certificate on com-
pletion of twelve weeks of work. Agriculture, home economics and
manual training are the subjects in which the Iowa State College of
all institutions is prepared to help teachers.

GENERAL COURSES
High School teachers are more and more interested in securing regu-
lar college credit work in agriculture, so that the general course for
high school teachers is no longer continued. Superintendents and high
school teachers can secure a combination of work in different depart-
ments which will enable them to secure a general view of the subject
in a single summer if necessary. However, for rural and grade teach-
ers, and for farmers, business men and homemakers, general courses
are continued.
S-2. Agriculture. Each summer there have been a few farmers and
business men and women desiring to get a general knowledge of the
fundamentals of agriculture from the combined scientific and practical
point of view. The demands of such individuals vary so much that it is
necessary to take up each case and arrange a schedule accordingly.
While one will desire to devote his full time to a study of farm animals,
another will desire all of his time on the study of soils or plants or
orcharding. It has been found possible to meet these remands quite
fully and to give a combination of work which will enable each individ-
ual to get economically the practical information which he desires.
Since those asking for this particular course do not ask for college
credit, they are given considerable freedom, the sole purpose being to
meet their demand in a satisfactory way. It is suggested that individu-
als knowing before hand that they will ask for this course write some-
what in detail the work which they desire. This will give an oppor-
tunity for consultation in arranging the course satisfactorily.
The division of Home Economics will offer beginning and continua-
tion courses of a very practical nature for homemakers of the state who
may desire to take advantage of the summer work. This work has al-
ways been very popular because of its intensely practical nature and
this summer it has been decided to offer all courses co-ordinately, that
is, without any prerequisite requirements.
Women who desire to come for the first three weeks of the Summer
School can secure available units of work in the homemakers' courses
and have at the same time an opportunity of attending the Rural Life
Conference.
S-30. Dressmaking. Especially planned for women who wish to be-
come more skillful in home sewing. It will include the alteration and
use of commercial patterns, practice work in fitting, designing, and
making patterns, use of the machine attachments, etc. In the work of
garment making a choice will be given in the garment to be made, in-
cluding underwear, blouses, tailored dresses, etc.
S-31. Dressmaking. Use of the dress form in home sewing. Work
consists of making a tight fitting lining, padding and fitting up a form.
Garment making will consist of an afternoon dress or wool skirt and
bloui I
S 35. Cookery. This course is to be divided into two periods of
three weeks each, so thai those who wish may take the full six weeks'
v. oil: or cither of (lie three weeks' periods. The first period will in-
clude tie- cooking Of meats and vegetables and the preparation of appe-
tizing disli<:: from lefl over foods. The second period will include the
rook in;/ of cereals, quick breads and beverages.
s :;<;. Cookery. Discussion of different types of table service, includ-
ing the preparation and serving of typical meals. Illustrating suitable
15 -
food combinations. Food adapted to the needs of the family under
varied conditions will be considered, also the preparation, selection and
serving of foods for the sick.
RURAL AND GRADE TEACHERS' COURSE
Tuition Free
(Students who are high school graduates may take college credit
work upon payment of the fee.)
This course is offered to enable rural and grade teachers to have the
advantages of the unusual facilities of the Iowa State College in prepar-
ation for teaching agriculture, home economics and manual training in
the public schools in an intelligent and effective manner. The instruc-
tion will emphasize the elementary side of the subjects, giving particu-
lar attention to methods of preparing material, and of organizing the
work in rural schools. The laboratories and teaching equipment of the
college, including the library and the experiment farms, will be avail-
able to the students, but the aim throughout will be to so handle the
work as to illustrate the possibilities of doing the work effectively un-
der rural school conditions. The primary object of the course is to give
work in the industrial subjects to present and prospective teachers, and
other work will be offered only when carried along with industrial
work.
School Gardening- Training- Class.
The work is arranged to meet legal requirements.
Admission to this course requires graduation from the common
schools and the recommendation of the county superintendent of
schools.
This course makes provision for the following work:
1. General Agriculture S-3. This course is planned after consulta-
tion with the state department so as to meet the requirements of teach-
ers who are preparing to teach agriculture in the rural and grade
schools. The course will deal with the phases of agriculture that can
be taught to the best advantage in the rural schools and will consist of
class, laboratory and demonstration work. Topics included in this be-
ginning course of six weeks are soils and soil fertility, culture and im-
provement of crops, especially of corn, seed corn selection, storing,
testing and judging, weeds and weed eradication, bacteria, fungi and
insects, orchards and orcharding, gardening for home and school, the
propagation of plants and related topics suitable for rural schools.
Students Judging Corn in Farm Crops Laboratory.
2. General Agriculture S-4. This is a continuation of the course de-
scribed in the paragraph above. Topics dealt with are farm animals,
including horses, cattle, sheep and swine, but with particular emphasis
upon poultry. Poultry is considered by the state department and oth-
ers as a topic particularly adapting itself for treatment in the rural and
grade schools. The course will give the student a definite knowledge
of the qualities to expect in good stock and will consider selection, im-
provement, care and management. Attention will also be given to
dairying, including the use of the Babcock test.
3. Home Economics S-32... Sewing. This course includes the teach-
ing of plain sewing upon articles which may be made in the one-room
rural school. The emphasis will be upon plain sewing. Help will be
given in the selection of materials, and the practical work of cutting,
finishing and repairing garments.
4. Home Economics S-37. Cooking. This course aims to teach the
fundamental principles of foods and their preparation so that the rural
school teacher will have a knowledge of the facts necessary for the
teaching of cooking. Subjects treated include food preparation, food
value to the body, and the planning and serving of economical meals.
This work will be done in the regular college laboratories.
5. Home Economics S-38. This is the general course for rural
unci grade teachers. The work will be done under conditions and with
equipment ihat can he easily duplicated in the rural schools. For part
of the work a specially devised rural school home economics cabinet
will be used. The emphasis will be placed upon the planning of a suit-
able course of lessons, demonstration with the pupils of the model
school as a class, lesson planning, co-operation with the home and nec-
essary equipment. The purpose is to give the teacher a definite plan so
thai She will willingly carry out the work in her school next winter.

6. General Manual Training S-6. The introductory course of six
weeks in general manual training will deal with the rougher and more
practical farm problems and includes such exercises as saw horse,
bench hook, nail box, corn tray, bird house, hog trough, milking stool,
bench vice, seed sample case, chicken brooder, etc. Because of the
bulky nature of the models in the exercises undertaken in this course,
materials will be furnished without a fee and at the close of the course
students will be given an option to purchase the models at actual cost
of material.
7. General Manual Training S-7. This will be a continuation of gen-
eral manual training S-6, but will deal more particularly with farm
home problems. The exercises will require more refined work and a
higher degree of finish and will include the necessary basis in drawings
and reading of the same. The following are some of the exercises
which will be undertaken: Book rack, plant stand, waste basket, medi-
cine case, hall tree, porch swing, bulletin case, screen, small step lad-
der, sleeve board, fly trap, etc. Students will pay for lumber actually
used and the completed work will become the property of the student.
Double period daily.
8. Manual Training S-15. Basketry and Weaving. The work in this
course carries a double purpose; first, to give ability in organizing
such work for the lower grades in school, and, second, to give actual
practice in performing processes that are useful in the school and that
are personally useful to the individual.
9. Manual Training S-16. Manual training for lower grades. Con-
tinuation of S-15.
Notes: Teachers will be interested in knowing of the ruling of the
state educational board of examiners to the effect that grades in agri-
culture, home economics, and manual training when carried success-
fully for 12 weeks may be transferred direct to the certificate without
further examination.

Home economics students are requested to wear wash dresses in the
cooking laboratories. White aprons, hand towels and holders will also
he required.
10. Didactics. The work in didactics for rural and grade teachers
will be further developed during the coming Summer Session to meet
the increasing demands of high grade teachers who have been continu-
ing in the rural and grade teachers' course. Three courses will be of-
fered as follows:
Didactics I. — A general course of didactics having in mind the prepar-
ation of the teacher for school work and for passing the examination.
The course will deal with management, study, and the technique of the
recitation.
Didactics II. — Special methods in arithmetic, geography and history
for the upper grades. Some attention to other subjects.
The recently adopted reading circle book, Wilsons' Motivation of
School Work, will be used as basic text for this course.
Didactics III. — Primary methods with particular attention to primary
reading, busy work, and the special problems of the primary teacher.
This course will be handled again during the coming summer by Miss
Bertha Stiles, who has made it such a valuable course for lower grade
teachers.
11. Other Work. Teachers of any grade who are enrolled in the
Summer Session and are prepared to take college credit work may
select subjects offered in the college credit list in so far as they are
prepared to enter these classes. To secure college credit, the student
must meet the usual preliminary requirements. It is customary here,
as in other colleges and universities, to waive certain requisites in
cases of mature students who obviously are prepared to take college
grade work and for good reason have not complied with all of the for-
mal requirements.
The following list of college credit subjects will be of particular in-
terest to rural and grade teachers.

Last year 75% of the rural and grade teachers were qualified to
take college credit work. Accordingly the time schedule of the classes
for the above work has been arranged to permit this work to be taken
in connection with their other studies. In addition to the above, work
in Music and in Physical Culture, including swimming, is open for
rural and grade teachers. See description of college courses.
FEES IN GENERAL COURSES
There will be no fees in connection with the work for rural and grade
teachers. In the industrial subjects, students may take the finished
p'roducl on payment of the actual cost of materials used.
The fees or deposits in the homemakers' courses have been esti-
mated aj follows:
Home Economics 8-30 Fee, $1.00
Home Economics s::i Fee, $1.00
Home Iv-onomies S-35 Fee, $3.00
Home Economics S-36 Fee, $3.00
COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES
There are many who wish to take some of the regular college courses
either because of the intrinsic value of the work to them in a practical
way or as a part of a regular college course to be completed later.
The courses described below are the same as those offered during the
college year and will be taught by the regular college faculty. The de-
scriptions are quoted from the regular college catalog.
Other courses may be offered when requested by sufficient number
of students.
As the Summer Session is approximately one-third the length of a
college semester, the number of hours per week devoted to a course in
the Summer Session will be three times what is shown in the descrip-
tions below. Six hours per week constitutes full work in these college
courses. There is little doubt but that the numbers in each course will
justify offering it.
A resolution adopted by the Iowa Council of Education indicated
about thirty-two hours of technical agriculture of a college grade as the
minimum for a regular teacher of agriculture in the high school. This
amount of work will easily be secured in successive Summer Sessions.
The work in agriculture offered during the summer of 1917 includes
additional courses to meet further demands for agriculture. The pros-
pective student who is looking forward to several Summer Sessions in
succession is advised to plan his work so as to cover the field in a rea-
sonable manner and meet the minimum requirements as suggested by
the Iowa Council of Education.
The regular amount of work for a single Summer Session will enable
one to secure twelve hours of agriculture and this will meet require-
ments in some schools. For instance, during the first half, one could
secure work as follows: A. H. 1, 2 hrs.; F. C. 1 or Hort. 3, 2% hrs.;
Dairy 10 or Hort. 408, 2 hrs.; total 6% hrs. This is merely illustrative.
Any other combination of animal husbandry, agricultural engineering,
dairy, farm crops, farm management, poultry, horticulture, or soils,
wouid be acceptable and all of this is the right type of agricultural work
for the prospective high school teacher. The reasonably small units of
specialized work are considered much more desirable than courses in
general agriculture. The schedule is so arranged as to avoid conflict,
and enable the student to carry the full amount of agriculture during
the first and second halves of the summer school.

-28-
well as to pay their transportation expenses. For details, address
G. B. MacDonald, Professor of Forestry.
GENERAL SCIENCE
Science as related to the farm and home is being called for more
and more as a high school study and there is a constant demand for
teachers prepared to give instruction in science with these important
applications. This development has led to the offering in the Summer
Session of general science work as related to farm operations and
work in the home. Organized in this way, science becomes funda-
mental to advanced and even elementary work in agriculture and
home economics, and in this form it meets the demands of the agricul-
tural community far better than science as it has been commonly
taught.

ization of the agricultural industry. Special attention will be given to
the origin, growth, control, and disposition of the public domain; the
settlement of the West; the various influences affecting the growth of
the agricultural industry and of agricultural society in the different
sections; relation of agriculture to related industries, to politics, and
to legislation; and a historical and comparative analysis of some of

HOME ECONOMICS
While all the work in home economics is organized from the stand-
point of homemaking and vocational requirements, yet the particular
demands a1 this time have led to the organization of special studies
for the 1017 Summer Session. These are studies 90, 91, and 92, indi-
cated below. The first two of these will give specific vocational train-
ing in dressmaking and millinery; the third will give teachers and ad-
ministrators the basic theory for adapting this work to vocational ends.

MODEL SCHOOL PROGRAM
Room 1, Central, Grades First and Third.
Room 3, Central, Grades Fifth and Eighth.
Note: Work in the model school begins at 8 o'clock and continues
until 11:30. In the lower grades emphasis will be placed upon reading,
language, numbers, busy work. History, geography and nature work
will be secondary and more or less related to the language and story
work.
The work in the upper grades will place greater emphasis upon Eng-
lish, arithmetic, physiology and geography and will also demonstrate
the possibilities of work in home economics and agriculture, The rural
school plan on home economics work will be demonstrated three days
each week. The work in agriculture will be correlated with the school
plot at the college and the home project work being carried by the
pupils. Definite schedule of program is not here given because of the
necessity of changing the program in order to properly accommodate
the work for observation purposes.
SCHEDULE FOR THE SECOND HALF
Schedule for the second half of the Summer Session is indicated be-
low. It is thought that this will not need to be modified. At any
rate, modifications will be made only when students can be better ac-
commodated.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Summer Session work was offered by the Iowa State College for the
first time in 1911. In that summer a short course extending over two
weeks was attended by about fifty superintendents and high school
teachers of the state. Since that time the interest in agriculture and
industrial subjects has increased tremendously, not only in this state,
but throughout the United States. At the present time 22 states re-
quire the teaching of agriculture in the public schools, and in many
more of the states agriculture is taught, especially in the high schools.
In 1912 the Summer Session was extended to isix weeks, and had a
total enrollment of 128 students. The third Summer Session, 1913, en-
rolled 225 students. These students came from 63 counties of the
state and 10 states of the Union.
The Summer Session in 1914 had a total attendance of 618. The
students represented 96 counties in the state, 15 states and 6 foreign
countries. Eighty-eight per cent of them were teachers in the public
schools and not in attendance during the regular college year.
During the last two summers, the enrollment has continued to in-
crease and this hearty response on the part of teachers shows clearly
the wisdom of the legislature in passing the law requiring the teach-
ing of the industrial subjects in the public schools. Properly organized
and in the hands of qualified teachers, agriculture, home economics
and manual training adapt themselves admirably as public school sub-
jects. The subject matter is interesting, worth while, and has a use-
ful outcome.
General Statement. The college always has recognized its special
responsibility in the training of high school and college teachers of
agriculture, manual training, home economics, and the application of
science to these vocational subjects.
Teachers in service can be helped best through the Summer Session,
and in a large measure they have a right to the advantages of the
unusual equipment of the Iowa State College. This is especially true
since the legislation requiring the teaching of the industrial subjects
in the public schools.
In the forthcoming Summer Session the excellent facilities of the
college, "s usual, will be available to the fullest extent to those who
wish to enroll as students.
The establishment of vocational education on a large scale through
the Smith-Hughes bill places an additional responsibility upon
the Iowa State College, and this responsibility it will endeavor to
meet fully.
Who May Properly Attend. On account of the easy conditions of
entrance, many receive benefit from the Summer Session who do not
attend during the regular year. The following should be particularly
interested in the Summer Session:
1. ALL TEACHERS, or persons expecting to teach next year, may
use the Summer Session to secure work in the industrial subjects as
required by the recent legislation. Teachers in the elementary schools
will find profitable work in the Rural and Grade Teachers' Course.
High school teachers may secure strong work along particular lines as
listed under college credit courses.
2. SUPERINTENDENTS, PRINCIPALS AND SUPERVISORS. The
large number of superintendents and principals who have been enrolled
in the Summer Session in the past indicates clearly that it is serving
them to good advantage, and meeting a special need which they feel
for getting acquainted with the newer subjects of manual training and
agriculture, together with courses in agricultural education. An exam-
ination of the Iowa Directory indicates that agriculture is taught in
the high schools of the state by the superintendents more often than
by any other single group. Beginning and advanced courses are of-
fered in the present session in soils, farm crops, animal husbandry,
dairying, agricultural engineering, horticulture, and in the related sub-
jects of rural sociology, agricultural economics, agricultural education,
botany, bacteriology, etc. The Summer Session gives such superintend-
ents and principals an opportunity to secure work of a high character
under regular college instruction and under favorable conditions.
3. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS. Six weeks at the Iowa State
College would be unusually helpful in view of the rapid development
of the vocational ajnd industrial subjects in the schools.
4. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES will find an opportunity to start
the college course. High school graduates who think of entering the
Iowa State College in the fall of 1918 may take advantage of the Sum-
mer Session to become acquainted with college methods and to secure
work towards graduation. Increasing numbers are taking advantage
of the Summer Session for this purpose.
5. REGULAR STUDENTS IN THE IOWA STATE COLLEGE may
make up back work, shorten their course by doing advanced work, or
increase their electives.
6. STUDENTS in other colleges who are interested in the indus-
trial wo>rk and related lines will find other colleges willing to substi-
tute credits made at this institution.
7. FORMER GRADUATES may complete the necessary work in
psychology and agricultural education in order to secure the first
grade state certificate.
8. ANY MATURE INDIVIDUAL who gives evidence of ability to
carry the work with profit will be admitted without examination, but
such individual must satisfy the department concerned as to his or
her ability to carry the work.
9. RURAL AND VILLAGE MINISTERS will find especially valu-
able help in the Rural Life Conference. Bankers, farmers, rural lead-
ers, mothers and daughters will find a welcome, an atmosphere of
culture and inspiration, and practical help for their work.
10. WOMEN of maturity will find particular help in the home-
makers' courses offered during the Summer Session. These courses
have proved popular and have attracted women not only from all parts
of Iowa, but from all parts of the nation.
Conditions of Admission. AH students who can profit by the instruc-
tion offered will be admitted without examination, admission to a par-
ticular course being satisfactory to the professor in charge. It is pre-
sumed that all applying for admission have a serious purpose, and are
interested in the industrial work. College credit wall be granted, how-
ever, only to those who meet standard entrance requirements.
Ctudies and Credits. Nearly one hundred college credit studies are
offered. Thirty-two of these are in agriculture. An average student
should be able to make six hours credit during a single half of the
Summer Session. All courses ottered are completed during a single
half of the Summer Session by increasing the number of recitations
per week. There are QO split courses. A student desiring to carry
more than six (or six and a fraction) hours of college credit work will
be required to make application for permission to take extra work, ap-
plication being countersigned by the instructors involved. The com-
mittee on extra work will meet Saturday evening, June 1.
Late Entrance. Because of the rapidity with which the work moves
in a short session, students should enter in time to attend the first
session of all classes. Work begins at 1:00 P. M. on Monday, June 3.
Courses in the new industrial subjects have laboratory periods, and
students should therefore plan to be present for the first meeting of
the class.
General Courses. In the general courses, students will be given more
freedom as to the number of hours to be carried. The schedule, how-
ever, should be reasonable. Experience proves that a schedule that is
too heavy is unsatisfactory both to the student and to the instructors.
Special Work. Students wishing to do advanced or other special
work not announced in this bulletin should communicate at an early
date with the Director of the Summer Session, or with the professor
in whose department they wish to work. Consideration may be given
to a sufficient number of requests.
Meeting Residence Requirements for a Degree Through Summer
Session Work. Because of the largely increased attendance at the
Summer Session, provision has been made for the satisfying of resi-
dence requirements for a degree on the basis of four Summer Sessions
of six weeks each. The amount of work required for the degree will
need to be supplemented by work in absence, or by correspondence.
Graduate and Research Work which will apply on the 'higher de-
grees conferred by this institution will again be offered in certain de-
partments during the Summer Session, if there is sufficient demand for
it. In the recent Summer Sessions there have been a goodly number
of graduate students from this and other institutions, who have
availed themselves of this opportunity for completing work towards
the Master's or Doctor's degree. For further details regarding the
opportunities for advanced work, the requirements for degrees, and
for copies of the Graduate Catalog, address the Dean of the Graduate
Division.
Fees. The single Summer Session fee of $5.00 for each half of six
weeks, covers work in all courses! with the exception of the Music De-
partment. The fee for less than the full time is $1.00 a week, with
$2.00 as a minimum; or $1.00 per credit hour for college credit work,
with $2.00 as a minimum. Laboratory fees are indicated in connection
with the descriptions of the courses. In the Rural and Grade Teach-
ers' Course, there are no Incidental fees. No fee is charged for at-
tendance at the Rural Life Conference.
Room and Board. Room and board is available in private homes and
at the college dormitories at prices which are customary throughout
Iowa. The cafe in Alumni Hall will be open during the entire Sum-
mer Session, and will be managed on the cafeteria plan.
Women will arrange for rooms through cgular college commit-
tee of which the Dean of Women is chairman. The college dormitories
will be open for women students for board and room. After the
dormitories are filled, the Dean of Women will assign women to se-
lected houses about the campus, where the regular college rules will
apply. In the dormitories and private homes alike, mattresses only
are furnished for the cots, so that students should bring a pillow,
sheets, pillow cases and an extra blanket.
Rooms for men will be available in private homes and rooming
houses about the campus. Rooming arrangements for men will be in
charge of the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Expenses. Expenses will vary with the individual. For six weeks
the expenses need not exceed $45 or $50, in addition to car fare. This
makes provision for tuition, room and board for six weeks, books and
laundry, and other incidentals.
Certificates. Students satisfactorily completing any of the general
courses offered in the Summer Session will, upon request, be given a
certificate showing attendance and grades.
The State Board of Educational Examiners will grant five-year,
first-grade certificates to graduates of the Iowa State College or other
approved colleges who have completed (a) six semester-hours of psy-
chology, and (b) fourteen hours of education. The courses offered in
the Summer Session enable students to meet these requirements.
Teachers' Examination. The State Teachers' examination for June
and July will be held at the college during the Summer Session for the
convenience of the teachers in attendance. One expecting to take an ex-
amination at the college should bring with him a statement from the
county superintendent, together with county superintendent's receipt
showing payment of fee, which will admit to the examination. Where
such fee has not been previously paid it will be collected and for-
warded to the county superintendent.
The Appointment Committee. In order to better serve the schools
of the state, the faculty has provided a regular Appointment Commit-
tee, the tduties of which are to assist the students of the College who
desire to enter educational work in finding positions for which they
are best fitted, and to aid school officials in finding the teachers, prin-
cipals, supervisors and superintendents best prepared for the positions
to be filled. Students of the Summer Session, who intend to teach or
wish to better their -positions, may register with this committee.
Blanks which are provided for that purpose may be secured by calling
at the office of the Director of the Summer Session, Room 318, Agri-
cultural Hall. No fee is charged for the services of this committee.
Chapel. Chapel services are held once each week at a convenient
hour and all students are expected to attend. This is more or less in
the nature of a convocation as well as a chapel service, and furnishes
opportunity for announcements or for brief remarks upon subjects of
immediate interest.
Each Sunday evening, vesper services are held from 6:15 to 6:45 at
the campanile when the weather is favorable. In case of inclement
weather, the meeting is held in Agricultural Assembly.
Students' Mail. Students will avoid inconvenience by having their
mail addressed, temporarily at least, to Station A, Ames, Iowa. This
postoffice is located upon the College campus, and mall may be called
for conveniently.
Summer Employment. Students coming for the short Summer Ses-
sion are not advised to seek employment, but to give their full time
to school work. This is particularly urged in the case of teachers de-
siring to have the grades in agricluture, home economics and manual
training transferred ' ' the certificate.
There are usually some ^.mmer calls for help. Students may learn
of these calls through the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Recreation. While the primary object of the Summer Session is
work and study, yet these will be facilitated by a sufficient amount of
recreation. Students are urged to effect organizations and to arrange
for tournaments in tennis, baseball, track, or indoor work. The Com-
mittee en Games and Recreation will encourage and help in organizing
tie- details of this work. Play hour, 7 to 9 Friday evenings; educa-
tional moving pictures, 8:00 o'clock Saturday evenings.
Tenting Privilege. The privilege of tenting in the north woods will
be continued this summer. There is no charge for tenting space, but
the space is limited. It will be well to arrange in advance for the
privilege. Tents may be brought along or rented of tenting com-
panies. One company in Des Moines makes a price of $5 for six
weeks for a 10 foot by 12 foot tent.
Special Features. One feature of the Summer Session which is par-
ticularly worth while is the opportunity to hear educators of national
reputation. The policy of selecting a limited number of men whose
addresses no one can afford to miss will be continued this year.
These lectures for the unost part are scheduled for the evening; occa-
sionally, however, at 5:00 o'clock. The following can be announced at
the present time:
Dr. David D. Snedden, Teachers College, Columbia University, New
York City.
Dr. Charles F. Fordyce, Dean of the College of Education, University
of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebr.

Shakespearean Festival. The Elsie Herndon Kearns Co. will again be
present during the Summer Session, giving matinee and evening per-
forfances on the college campus. Details of the program will be an-
nounced later. This is an opportunity which Summer Session students
greatly appreciate.
The Model School. The popular two-room, consolidated Model
School will be continued in charge of competent critic teachers. Regu-
lar work in observation and methods will be offered for students in the
general courses, and the work of the model school will be used in the
regular college courses in agricultural education. Courses offered in
Agricultural Education will include Principles and Methods of Educa-
tion, Rural Education, Secondary Education, and School Administra-
ton. This will enable us to serve directly the rural teacher, the
grade teacher, the agricultural high school teacher, and the school ad-
ministrator. The Model School provides the laboratory opportunity
of demonstrating the best in educational methods.
Boys' and Girls' Club Work. The growing interest in boys' and girls'
club work and its rapid development throughout the state has led to an
arrangement by which Professor E. C. Bishop, State Club Leader, and
his assistants, will give special lectures and demonstrations during the
Summer Session. The work given will enable students to get a suffi-
cient understanding to organize and carry forward club work in their
respective communities.
Library. The library of the Iowa State College is well selected and
it is so managed as to make it serviceable to all students during the
Summer Session.
Equipment. The equipment of the Iowa State College for work in
agriculture, home economics, manual training and related subjects is in
keeping with the wealth and resources of the state. In many respects,
the Summer Session is the best season of the year for studying agri-
culture, and the regular college instructors in charge of the work use
freely the resources of the college and the experiment station.
Location. Ames is almost at the geographical center of the state of
Iowa, on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. It is
about thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, with which it is connected
by a branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and by the
Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Southern (interurban) running from Fort
Dodge and Rockwell City to Des Moines. A branch of the Chicago &
Northwestern from Ames penetrates the northern part of the state.
Ames is proverbially a clean town, saloons and billiard halls being un-
heard of.
Students should plan to arrive on Saturday or Monday. In case it is
absolutely necessary to arrive on Sunday, advanced notice should b<*
8
given, with the request that rooms be arranged for, at least temporari-
ly. In case of arrival on Sunday, without advanced notice, phone 652,
the residence phone of the Director of the Summer Session.
Rural Life Conference. The Rural Life Conference will open on
Tuesday, June 18th, and close Friday evening, June 28th. The last three
•days will be in the form of a convention and will be of special interest
to rural ministers and to residents and teachers of rural communities.
In the past, this conference has been most helpful to Iowa and neigh-
boring states in stimulating and developing rural leadership. Speakers
of note from state and nation will appear before the conference.
The lectures in the Rural Life Conference are free to Summer Ses-
sion students, as well as members of the Conference. For special bul-
letin giving detailed program of the Conference, write Dean Chas. F.
Curtiss, Chairman of the Rural Life Conference Committee, or the
Director of the Summer Session.
LEGAL PROVISIONS OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS
A large part of the work offered in the Summer Session is arranged
in direct response to recent legislation. Work is therefore arranged to
meet legal requirements. The laws of the state encouraging work in
agriculture, home economics and manual training are in common with
similar laws throughout the entire United States. The movement for
the industrial work in the schools is not local nor is it transitory. It is
gathering force each year. It is simply the recognition of the fact that
education to be effective must be connected up directly with the work
and dominant interests of the people. The government census shows
that 68% of the people of Iowa are rural and that 49.2% are actually
living upon farms. This makes agriculture the one dominant occupa-
tion of the state. For woimen, of course, home economics is the one
great interest, but women living on the farm are almost equally inter-
ested in farm operations. While Iowa is not a large manufacturing
state at present, the output of its factories is increasing steadily each
year. Industry in one form or another takes most of the time of every
one and there is no reason why our education should not connect up
more and more with industry which shall put joy and satisfaction as
well as scientific insight into all industrial and manual occupations.
Any county superintendent can instruct teachers as to the legal re-
quirements or the requirements of the State Educational Board of Ex-
aminers with reference to the new subjects. Rural teachers taking-
work in agriculture, home economics or manual training may have the
grades in these subjects transferred direct to the certificate on com-
pletion of twelve weeks of work, but the work for rural and grade
teachers this year does not lead to a certificate for twelve weeks of
normal training. Agriculture, home economics and manual training
are the subjects in which the Iowa State College of all institutions is
prepared to help teachers.

suitable substitutions will be made.
COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES
There are many who wish to take some of the regular college courses
either because of the intrinsic value of the work to them in a prac-
tical way or as a part of a regular college course to be completed later.
The courses described below are the same as those offered during
the college year and will be taught by the regular college faculty. The
descriptions are quoted from the regular college catalog.
Other courses may be offered when requested by a sufficient num-
ber of students.
As the Summer Session is approximately one-third the length of a
college semester, the number of hours per week devoted to a course in
the Summer session will be three times what is shown in the descrip-
tions below. Six hours per week constitutes full work in these college
courses. There is little doubt but that the numbers wanting each
course will justify offering it.
A resolution adopted by the Iowa Council of Education indicated
about thirty-two hours of technical agriculture of a college grade as
the minimum for a regular teacher of agriculture in the high school.
This amount of work will easily be secured in successive Summer Ses-
sions. The work in agriculture offered during the summer of 1918 in-
cludes additional courses to meet further demands for agriculture. The
prospective student who is looking forward to several Summer Ses-
sions in succession is advised to plan his work so as to cover the field
in a reasonable manner and meet the minimum requirements as sug-
gested by the Iowa Council of Education.
The regular amount of work for a single Summer Session will enable
one to secure twelve hours of agriculture and this will meet require-
ments in some schools. For instance, during the first half, one could
secure work as follows: A. H. 1, 2 hrs; F. C. 1 or Hort. 3, 2% hrs.;
Dairy 10 or Hort. 408, 2 hrs.; total 6% hrs. This is merely illustrative.
Any other combination of animal husbandry, agricultural engineering,
dairy, farm crops, farm management, poultry, horticulture, or soils,
would be acceptable and all of this is the right type of agricultural
work for the prospective high school teacher. The reasonably small
units of specialized work are considered much more desirable than
courses in general agriculture. The schedule is so arranged as to avoid
conflict and enable the student to carry the full amount of agriculture
during the first and second halves of the summer school.

GENERAL COURSES
High School teachers are more and more interested in securing reg-
ular college credit work in agriculture, so that the general course for
high school teachers is no longer continued. Superintendents and high
school teachers can secure a combination of work in different depart-
ments which will enable them to secure a general view of the subject
in a single summer if necessary. However, for rural and grade teach-
ers, and for farmers, business men and homemakers, general courses
are continued.
GENERAL AGRICULTURE
S-2. Agriculture. Each summer there have .been a few farmers and
business men and women desiring to get a general knowledge of the
fundamentals of agriculture from the combined scientific and practical
point of view. The demands of such individuals vary so much that it
is necessary to take up each case and arrange a schedule accordingly.
While one will desire to devote his full time to a study of farm ani-
mals, another will desire all of his time on the study of soils or plants
or orcharding. It has been found possible to meet these demands quite
fully and to give a combination of work which will enable each indi-
vidual to get economically the practical information which he desires.
Since those asking for this particular course do not ask for college
credit, they are given considerable freedom, the sole purpose being to
meet their demand in a satisfactory way. It is suggested that individ-
uals knowing before hand that they will ask for this course write some
what in detail the work which they desire. This will give an oppor-
tunity for consultation in arranging the course satisfactorily.
HOMEMAKERS' COURSES
The division of Home Economics will offer beginning and continua-
tion courses of a very practical nature for homemakers of the state
who may desire to take advantage of the summer work. This work
has always been very popular because of its intensely practical nature
and this summer it has been decided to offer all courses co-ordinately,
that is, without any pre-requislte requirements.
Women who desire to come for the first three weeks of the Summer
School can secure available units of work in the homemakers' courses
and have at the same time an opportunity of attending the Rural Life
Conference.
The SH courses correspond to those given in the regular Two-year
Home Economics course and are open to the students enrolled in that
department.

RURAL AND GRADE TEACHERS' COURSE
Tuition Free
(Students who are high school graduates may take college credit
work upon payment of the fee.)
This course is offered to enable rural and grade teachers to have
the advantages of the unusual facilities of the Iowa State College in
preparation for teaching agriculture, home economics and manual
training in the public schools in an intelligent and effective manner.
The instruction will emphasize the elementary side of the subjects,
giving particular attention to methods of preparing material, and of
organizing the work in rural schools. The laboratories and teaching
equipment of the college, including the library and the experiment
farms, will be available to the students, but the aim throughout will
be to so handle the work as to illustrate the possibilities of doing the
work effectively under rural school conditions. The primary object
of the course is to give work in the industrial subjects to present and
prospective teachers, and other work will be offered only when car-
ried along with industrial work.
Admission to this course requires graduation from the common
schools and the recommendation of the county superintendent of
schools.
This course makes provision for the following work:
1. General Agriculture S-4. Topics dealt with are farm animals,
including horses, cattle, sheep and swine, but with particular emphasis
upon poultry. Poultry is considered by the state department and oth-
ers as a topic particularly adapting itself for treatment in the rural
and grade schools. The course will give the student a definite knowl-
edge of the qualities to expect in good stock and will consider selec-
tion, improvement, care and management. Attention will also be given
to dairying, including the use of the Babcock test.
2. Home Economics S-32. Sewing. This course includes the teach-
ing of plain sewing upon articles which may be made in the one-room
rural school. The emphasis will be upon plain sewing. Help will be
31
given in the selection of materials, and the practical work of cutting,
finishing and repairing of garments.
3. Home Economics S-37. Cooking. This course aims to teach the
fundamental principles of foods and their preparation so that the rural
school teacher will have a knowledge of the facts necessary for the
teaching of cooking. Subjects treated include food preparation, food
value to the body and the planning and serving of economical meals.
This work will be done in the regular college laboratories.
4. Home Economics S-38. This is the general course for rural
and grade teachers. The work will be done under conditions and with
equipment that can be easily duplicated in the rural schools. For part,
of the work a specially devised rural school home economics cabinet
will be used. The emphasis will be placed upon the planning of a suit-
able course of lessons, demonstration with the pupils of the model
school as a class, lesson planning, co-operation with the home and nec-
essary equipment. The purpose is to give the teacher a definite plan so
that she will willingly carry out the work in her school next winter.
5. General Manual Training S-6. The introductory course of six
weeks in general manual training will deal with the rougher and more
practical farm problems and includes such exercises as saw horse,
bench hook, nail box, corn tray, bird house, hog trough, milking stool,
bench vise, seed sample case, chicken brooder, etc. Because of the
bulky nature of the models in the exercises undertaken in this course,
materials will be furnished without a fee and at the close of the course
students will be given an option to purchase the models at actual cost
of material.
6. General Manual Training S-7. This will be a continuation of gen-
eral manual training S-6, but will deal more particularly with farm
home problems. The exercises will require more refined work and a
higher degree of finish and will include the necessary basis in draw-
ings and readings of the same. The following are some of the exercises
which will be undertaken: Book rack, plant stand, waste basket, medi-

cine case, hall tree, porch swing, bulletin case, screen, small step lad-
der, sleeve board, fly trap, etc. Students will pay for lumber actually
used and the completed work will become the property of the student.
Double period daily.
7. Manual Training S-15. Basketry and Weaving. Lower grade
work, carried in connection with Didactics III. Not offered separately.
Note 1. Teachers will be interested in knowing of the ruling of the
state educational board of examiners to the effect that grades in agri-
culture, home economics, and manual training when carried success-
fully for 12 weeks may be transferred direct to the certificate without
further examination.
Note 2. Home economics students are requested to wear wash
dresses in the cooking laboratories. White aprons, hand towels and
holders will also be required.
8. Didactics. The work in didactics for rural and grade teachers
will consist of three courses, as follows :
Didactics I. — A general course of didactics having in mind the pre-
paration of the teacher for school work and for passing the examina-
tion. The course will deal with management, study and the technique
of the recitation.
Didactics II. Special methods in arithmetic, geography and history
for the upper grades. Some attention to other subjects.
The recently adopted reading circle book, Wilson's Motivation of
School Work, will be used as basic text for this course.
Didactics III. — Primary methods with particular attention to primary
reading, busy work, and the special problems of the primary teacher.
This course will be handled again during the coming summer by Miss
Bertha Stiles, who has made it such a valuable course for lower grade
teachers.
9. Other Work. Teachers of any grade who are enrolled in the
Summer Session and are prepared to take college credit work may
select subjects offered in the college credit list in so far as they are
prepared to enter these classes. To secure college credit, the student
must meet the usual preliminary requirements. It is customary here,
as in other colleges and universities, to waive certain requisites in
cases of mature students who obviously are prepared to take college
grade work and for good reason have not complied with all of the for-
mal requirements.
The following list of college credit subjects will be of particular in-
terest to rural and grade teachers. See descriptions under college
credit courses.

S<<- schedules of recitations on page —
La i year 75'/ of the rural and grade teachers were qualified to
take college credit work. Accordingly the time schedule of the classes
lei the above work has been arranged to permit this work to be taken
in connection with their other studies. In addition to the above, work
in Music and in Physical Culture, including swimming, is open for
i oral and grade teachers.

FEES IN GENERAL COURSES
There will be no fees in connection with the work for rural and srade
teachers. In the industrial subjects, students may take the finished
product on payment of the actual cost of materials used.
MODEL SCHOOL PROGRAM
Room 1, Central, Grades First and Third.
Room 3, Central, Grades Fifth and Eighth.
Note: Work in the model school begins at 8 o'clock and continues
until 11:30. In the lower grades emphasis will be placed upon read-
ing, language, numbers, busy work. History, geography, and nature
work will be secondary and more or less related to the language and
story work.
The work in the upper grades will place greater emphasis upon Eng-
lish, arithmetic, physiology and geography and will also demonstrate
the possibilities of work in home economics and agriculture. The rural
school plan on home economics work will be demonstrated. The work
in agriculture will be correlated with the school plot at the college
and the home project work being carried by the pupils. Definite
schedule of program is not here given because of the necessity of
changing the program in order to properly accommodate the work for
observation purposes.
SUMMER MILITARY CAMP
In view of the possibilities of unusual war needs between this and
the opening of the summer school, it seems inadvisable to attempt at
this time to make any definite announcement as to the military work
to be offered. Last year the work given consisted of the following
courses.
Military Drill
Infantry Drill Regulations
Field Regulations
Military Sanitation and Hygiene
Camp Cookery
Automobile Engineering
Principles of operation
Repair work and adjustment
Instruction in driving
Signal Corps
Telephone engineering
Wireless telegraph
Electric power
Telegraph code practice
Agricultural Engineering
Tractors
Tractor operation
Military Engineering
Military topography and mapping
Military bridges
Military roads and railroads
Field fortifications
Whether last year's work, other work, or no work in military lines
will be offered this summer will depend upon the recognized needs of
the nation, and the needs of Iowa men who are entering national ser-
vice.
34
The College stands ready to help in any way which may seem advis-
able at the time. If the War Department should need the facilities of
the College in a more extended manner than last year, the College
authorities will gladly co-operate.
SUGGESTIONS TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
1. Read carefully the description of the various courses and other
matter in this bulletin, and if the information is not sufficiently spe-
cific, do not hesitate to write for particulars.
2. Fill out and mail the information blank on page — which will
give us an idea of your demands. This places you under no obliga-
tions, but it gives the Director of the Summer Session a better basis
for making plans to handle the work on an efficient basis when you
arrive. For limitations on the amount of work that may be carried
in the rural and grade teachers' course, see page 14 of this bulletin.
3. Upon your arrival at the depot at Ames, make yourself known to
a member of the Reception Comimittee, who will be recognized by the
college badge. If for any reason you miss the committee, take the
college car to the college, and get off at Central Station. Men go di-
rect to Alumni Hall, women to Margaret Hall. Room assignments
will be made at these buildings. After securing a room, you are ready
for registration. If you come on the interurban, get off at the Campus
4. The following is the plan of registration:
(1) Go to the Registrar's office, fill out the two cards there
furnished you, pay the Summer Session fee (or deposit certificates
signed by your superintendent, entitling you to free tuition in
rural and grade teachers' course, and obtain a receipt.
(2) From the registrar's office, you will be directed with refer-
ence to classifying officers. Complete classification.
(3) If any of your courses carry laboratory fees, fee cards may
be secured from the instructors, and fees paid at the Treasurer's
office.
5. There are ample accommodations, and advanced notice is not
necessary. The college has been accustomed to handling 3,000 stu-
dents during the regular year, and knows how to do it. However, if
vour plans are matured sufficiently early, it will assist in rapid as-
signment and registration if advanced notice is given.
SCHEDULE OF RECITATIONS
Where schedules can be changed to the advantage of some students
without inconvenience to others, changes will be made on Monday

I have often thought that we overlook tlae
fact that the real sources of strength in the com-
munitvj come from the bottom. Who would have
looked to see Lincoln save a nation? Who that
knew Lincoln when he was a lad and a vjouth
and a vjoung man— hut all the while there was
springing up in him as if he were connected with
the verij soil itself, the sap of a nation, the vision
of a great people, a sumpathvj so ingrained and
intimate with the common run of men that we
was like the people impersonated, sublimated,
touched with genius. And it is to such sources
that we must alwatjs look. No man can calculate
the courses of genius, no man can foretell the
leadership of nations And so we must see to it
that the bottom is left open; we must see to it
that the soil of common feeling, of the common
consciousness, is alwaijs fertile and unclogged, for
there can he no fruit unless the roots touch the
rich sources of life. And it seems to me that the
schoolhouses dotted here, there, and everywhere,
over the great expanse of this Nation, will some
dau. prove to he the roots of that great tree of
libertu which shall spread for the sustenance and
protection of all mankind.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Summer Session work was offered by the Iowa State College for the
first time in 1911. In that summer a short course extending over two
weeks was attended by about fifty superintendents and high school teachers
of the state. Since that time the interest in agriculture and industrial
subjects has increased tremendously, not only in this state, but throughout
the United States. At the present time most states require the teach-
ing of agriculture in the public schools, and in all of the states agricul-
ture is taught, especially in the high schools. In 1912 the Summer Ses-
sion was extended to six weeks, and had a total enrollment of 128 students.
The third Summer Session, 1913, enrolled 225 students. These students
came from 63 counties of the state and 10 states of the Union.
The Summer Session in 1914 had a total attendance of 618. The stu-
dents represented 96 counties in the state, 15 states and 6 foreign countries.
Eighty-eight per cent of them were teachers in the public schools and not
in attendance during the regular college year.
During the last four summers, the enrollment has continued to increase
and this hearty response on the part of teachers shows clearly the wisdom
of the legislature in passing the law requiring the teaching of the indus-
trial subjects in the public schools. Properly organized and in the hands
of qualified teachers, agriculture, home economics and manual training
adapt themselves admirably as public school subjects. The subject matter
is interesting, worth while, and has a useful outcome.
General Statement. The college always has recognized its special
responsibility in the training of high school and college teachers of agri-
culture, manual training, home economics, and the application of science
to these vocational subjects.
Teachers in service can be helped best through the Summer Session,
and in a large measure they have a right to the advantages of the unusual
equipment of the Iowa State College. This is especially true since the
legislation requiring the teaching of the industrial subjects in the public
schools. In the forthcoming Summer Session the excellent facilities of the
college, as usual, will be available to the fullest extent to those who wish
to enroll as students.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
The establishment of vocational education on a large scale through the
Smith-Hughes bill places an additional responsibility upon the Iowa State
College, and this responsibility it will endeavor to meet fully.
The Iowa State College has been authorized as the one institution of
the state to train teachers of vocational agriculture, and federal funds are
made available under the Smith-Hughes Vocational Educational Law for
the support of such training. The course for the training of teachers of
home economics at the Iowa State College has also been approved by the
State and Federal Vocational Boards. This means that the Iowa State
College has new obligations for the training of teachers under the Smith-
Hughes Law in addition to former obligations imposed by the Nelson
Amendment to the Morrill Act.
Who May Properly Attend. On account of the easy conditions of
entrance, many receive benefit from the Summer Session who do not
attend during the regular year. The following should be particularly in-
terested in the Summer Session :
1. Ale Teachers, or persons expecting to teach next year, may use
the Summer Session to secure work in the industrial subjects as required
by recent legislation. Teachers in the elementary schools will find
profitable work in the Rural and Grade Teachers' Course. High school
teachers may secure strong work along particular lines as listed under
college credit courses.
2. Teachers and Supervisors especially interested in advanced phases
of Agricultural Education, Home Economics Education, or education in
Trades and Industry, — • state Supervisors or special teachers of these sub-
jects under the Smith-Hughes law.
3.. Superintendents, Principals and Supervisors. The large number
of superintendents and principals who have been enrolled in the Summer
Session in the past indicates clearly that it is serving them to good ad-
vantage, and meeting a special need which they feel for getting acquainted
with the newer subjects of manual training and agriculture, together with
courses in agricultural education. An examination of the Iowa Directory
indicates that agriculture is taught in the high schools of the state by the
superintendents more often than by any other single group. Beginning
and advanced courses are offered in the present session in soils, farm
crops, animal husbandry, dairying, agricultural engineering, horticulture,
and in the related subjects of rural sociology, agricultural economics,
agricultural education, botany, bacteriology, etc. The Summer Session
gives such superintendents and principals an opportunity to secure work
of a high character under regular college instruction and under favorable
conditions.
4. County Superintendents. Six weeks at the Iowa State College
will be unusually helpful in view of the rapid development of the voca-
tional and industrial subjects in the schools.
5. High School Graduates will find an opportunity to start the college
course. High school graduates who think of entering the Iowa _ State
College in the fall of 1919 may take advantage of the Summer Session to
become acquainted with college methods and to secure work towards
graduation. Increasing numbers are taking advantage of the Summer
Session for this purpose.
6. Regular Students in the Iowa State CoeeEGE may make up back
work, shorten their course by doing advanced work, or increase their
electives.
7. Students in other colleges who are interested in the industrial work
and related lines will find other colleges willing to accept credits made at
this institution.
8. Former Graduates may complete the necessary work in psychology
and agricultural education in order to secure the first grade state certifi-
cate.
9. Any Mature Individual who gives evidence of ability to carry the
work with profit will be admitted without examination, but such individual
must satisfy the department concerned as to his or her ability to carry
the work.
10. Rikal and Vjeeac.e Ministers will find especially valuable help in
the Rural Life Conference. Bankers, farmers, rural leaders, mothers and
daughters will find a welcome, an atmosphere of culture and inspiration,
and practical help for their work.
11. WOMEN of maturity will find particular help in the homemakers'
courses offered during the Summer Session. These course's have proved
popular and have attracted women not only from all parts of Iowa, but
from all parts of the nation. The war is won, but food conservation
should continue.
Conditions of Admission. All students who can profit by the instruc-
tion offered will be admitted without examination, admission to a partic-
ular course being satisfactory to the professor in charge. It is presumed
Lake La Verne is a Campus Beauty Spot
that all applying for admission have a serious purpose, and are interested
in the industrial work. College credit will be granted, however, only to
those who meet standard entrance requirements.
Studies and Credits. Nearly one hundred fifty college credit studies
are offered. Fifty-three of these are in agriculture. An average student
should be able to make nine hours credit during a single half of the
Summer Session. All courses offered are completed during a single half
of the Summer Session by increasing the number of recitations per week.
There are no split courses. A student desiring to carry more than nine
(or nine and a fraction) hours of college credit work will be required to
make application for permission to take extra work, application being
countersigned by the instructors involved.
Late Entrance. Because of the rapidity with which the work moves
in a short session, students should enter in time to attend the first session
of all classes. Work begins at 1 :00 p. m. on Monday, June 16. Courses
in the new industrial subjects have laboratory periods, and students should
therefore plan to be present for the first meeting of the class.
General Courses. In the general courses, students will be given more
freedom as to the number of hours to be carried. The schedule, however,
should be reasonable. Experience proves that a schedule that is too heavy
is unsatisfactory both to the student and to the instructors.
Special Work. Students wishing to do advanced or other special work
not announced in this bulletin should communicate at an early date with
the Director of the Summer Session, or with the professor in whose de-
partment they wish to work. Consideration may be given to a sufficient
number of requests, and especially during the summer session of 1919
students who have become irregular in their courses due to military ser-
vice will be offered every facility for doing the work which will permit
them to become regular in their courses.
Meeting Residence Requirements for a Degree Through Summer
Session Work. Because of the largely increased attendance at the Sum-
mer Session, provision has been made for the satisfying of residence
requirements for a degree on the basis of four Summer Sessions of six
weeks each. The amount of work required for the degree will need to be
supplemented by work in absence, or by correspondence.
Graduate and Research Work which will apply on the higher degrees
conferred by this institution will again be offered in certain departments
during the Summer Session. In the recent Summer Sessions there have
been a goodly number of graduate students from this and other institu-
tions, who have availed themselves of this opportunity for completing work
towards the Master's or Doctor's degree. For further details regarding
the opportunities for advanced work, the requirements for degrees, and
for copy of the Graduate Catalog, address the Dean of the Graduate
Division.
Fees. The single Summer Session fee of $5.00 for each half of the
session, covers work in all courses with the exception of the Music Depart-
ment. The fee for less than the full time is $1.00 a week, with $2.00 as
a minimum; or $1.00 per credit hour for college credit work, with $2.00
as a minimum. Laboratory fees are indicated in connection with the
descriptions of the courses. In the Rural and Grade Teachers' Course,
there are no fees. No fee is charged for attendance at the Rural Life
Conference.
Room and Board. Room and board is available in private homes and
at the college dormitories at prices which are customary throughout Iowa.
The cafe in Alumni Hall will be open during the entire Summer Session,
and will be managed on the cafeteria plan.
Women will arrange for rooms through the regular college committee
of which the Dean of Women is chairman. The college dormitories will
be open for women students for board and room. After the dormitories
are filled, the Dean of Women will assign women to selected houses about
the campus, where the regular college rules will apply. In the dormitories
and private homes alike, mattresses only are furnished for the cots, so
that students should bring a pillow, sheets, pillow cases and an extra
blanket.
Rooms for men will be available in private homes and rooming houses
about the campus. Rooming arrangements for men will be in charge of
the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Expenses. Expenses will vary with the individual. For each half
the expenses need not exceed $50 or $60, in addition to car fare. This
makes provision for tuition, room and board for six weeks, books and
laundry, and other incidentals.
Certificates. Students satisfactorily completing any of the general
courses offered in the Summer Session will, upon request, be given a cer-
tificate showing attendance and grades.
The State Board of Educational Examiners will grant five-year, first-
grade certificates to graduates of the Iowa State College or other ap-
proved colleges who have completed (a) six semester-hours of psy-
chology, and (b) fourteen hours of education. The courses offered in
the Summer Session enable students to meet these requirements.
Teachers' Examination. The State Teachers' examination for June
and July will be held at the college during the Summer Session for the
convenience of the teachers in attendance. One expecting to take an ex-
amination at the college should bring with him a statement from the
county superintendent, together with county superintendent's receipt show-
ing payment of fee, which will admit to the examination. Where such
A Stock Judging Contest (High School, 1918)
fee has not been previously paid it will be collected and forwarded to the
county superintendent.
The Appointment Committee. In order to better serve the schools
of the state, the faculty has provided a regular Appointment Committee,
the duties of which are to assist the students of the College who desire to
enter educational work in finding positions for which they are best fitted,
and to aid school officials in finding the teachers, principals, supervisors
and superintendents best prepared for the positions to be filled. Students
of the Summer Session, who intend to teach or wish to better their po-
sitions, may register with this committee. Blanks which are provided for
that purpose may be secured by calling at the office of the Director of the
Summer Session, Room 318, Agricultural Hall. No fee is charged for the
services of this committee.
Chapel. Chapel services are held once each week at a convenient hour
and all students are expected to attend. This is more or less in the
nature of a convocation as well as a chapel service, and furnishes oppor-
tunity for announcements or for brief remarks upon subjects of immediate
interest.
Each Sunday evening, vesper services are held from 6:15 to 6:45 at the
campanile when the weather is favorable. In case of inclement weather,
the meeting is held in Agricultural Assembly.
Students' Mail. Students will avoid inconvenience by having their
mail addressed, temporarily at least, to Station A, Ames, Iowa. This
postoffice is located upon the College campus, and mail may be called for
conveniently.
Summer Employment. Students coming for the short Summer Ses-
sion are not advised to seek employment, but to give their full time to
school work. This is particularly urged in the case of teachers desiring
to have the grades in agriculture, home economics and manual training
transferred direct to the certificate.
There are usually some summer calls for help. Students may learn of
these calls through the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Recreation. While the primarv object of the Summer Session is work
and study, yet these will be facilitated by a sufficient amount of recrea-
on. Students are urged to effect organizations and to arrange for tourn-
aments in tennis, baseball, track, or indoor work. The Committee on
Games and Recreation will encourage and help in organizing the details of
this work.
Tenting Privilege. The privilege of tenting in the north woods will
be continued this summer. There is no charge for tenting space, but the
space is limited. It will be well to arrange in advance for the privilege.
Tents may be brought along or rented of tenting companies.
Special Features. One feature of the Summer Session which is par-
ticularly worth while is the opportunity to hear educators of national repu-
tation. The policy of selecting a limited number of men whose addresses
no one can afford to miss will be continued this year. These lectures for
the most part are scheduled for the evening; occasionally, however, at
5 :00 o'clock. The following can be announced at the present time :
Dr. W. W. Charters, College of Education, University of Illinois.
W. G. Hummel, Assistant Federal Director of Vocational Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.
M. G. Clark, Superintendent of Schools, Sioux City, Iowa.
The Model School. The popular two-room, consolidated Model School
will be continued in charge of competent critic teachers. Regular work
in observation and methods will be offered for students in the general
courses, and the work of the model school will be used in the regular col-
lege courses in agricultural education. The Model School provides the
laboratory opportunity for demonstrating educational methods.
Library. The library of the Iowa State College is well selected and it
is so managed as to make it serviceable to all students during the Summer
Session.
Equipment. The equipment of the Iowa State College for work in
agriculture, home economics, manual training, and related subjects is in
keeping with the wealth and resources of the state. In many respects,
the Summer Session is the best season of the year for studying agri-
culture, and the regular college instructors in charge of the work use
freely the resources of the college and the experiment station.
Location. Ames is almost at the geographical center of the state of
Iowa, on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. It is
about thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, with which it is connected
by a branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and by the Fort
Dodge, Des Moines and Southern (interurban) running from Fort Dodge
and Rockwell City to Des Moines. A branch of the Chicago & North-
western from Ames penetrates the northern part of the state. Ames is
proverbially a clean town, having no saloons or billiard halls.
Students should plan to arrive on Saturday or Monday. In case it
is absolutely necessary to arrive on Sunday, advanced notice should be
given, with the request that rooms be arranged for, at least temporarily.
In case of arrival on Sunday, without advanced notice, phone 652, the
residence phone of the Director of the Summer Session.
CONFERENCES
Rural Life Conference. The dates for the Rural Life Conference
this year are June 24th to June 27th inclusive.
In the past, this conference has been most helpful to Iowa and neigh-
boring slates in stimulating and developing rural leadership. Speakers
of note from state and nation will appear before the conference.
The lectures in the Rural Life Conference are free to Summer Session
Students, as well as members of the Conference. For special bulletin
giving detailed program of the Conference, write Dean Chas. F. Cnrti^s,
Chairman of the Rural Life Conference Committee, or the Director of
the Snnnner Session.
Summer Conference for Garden Club Leaders. A conference for
Garden Club Leaders has been arranged to be held at the Iowa State Col-
lege from July 7tb to lXtb inclusive. In tins conference one-ball" <la\
Agronomy Experimental Farm
will be given over to actual work with soils and plants in the gardens, and
with the children who are Garden Club Members ; the other half day will
be given over to conferences and to the consideration of special problems,
insects, diseases and club management. A garden cared for by Garden
Club members is to be arranged for on the college grounds. Gardens in
connection with the children's homes, both in town and in the country,
will be made use of during this conference.
Conference cf Teachers of Agriculture. Under the direction of Pro-
fessor W. H. Bender, State Director of Vocational Education, a confer-
ence of teachers of agriculture, superintendents, and others directly inter-
ested in better agricultural courses in public schools, will be held at the
College June 24 to 27, inclusive. Professor Bender will be in direct charge
of the conference and will participate by giving help to interested super-
intendents and teachers on the requirements of the Smith-Hughes Law
relating to agriculture. Professor J. A. Linke, Regional Director of the
Federal Board, and Professor W. G. Hummell, Federal Director of Voca-
tional Agriculture, as well as a number of the Iowa State College faculty,
will participate in the conference. School boards are urged to send their
superintendents, as well as the teachers of agriculture, to this conference.
Motion Picture and Lantern Slide Projection. If there is sufficient
demand, a series of lectures and demonstrations will be given, covering
the fundamentals of picture projection, including a study of mechanisms,
optical systems, slides, film and the inspection, care and repair of same.
The course is intended for those teachers who wish to become more
profficient in the use of stereopticons and motion picture apparatus in
their schools. First meeting, Fridav, June 20, 5 p. m., Room 117, Agri-
cultural Hall.
LEGAL PROVISIONS OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS
A large part of the work offered in the Summer Session is arranged in
direct response to recent legislation. Work is therefore arranged to meet
legal requirements. The laws of the state encouraging work in agricul-
ture, home economics and manual training are in common with similar
'aws throughout the entire United States. The movement for the indus-
10
trial work in the schools is not local nor is it transitory. It is gathering
force each year. It is simply the recognition of the fact that education to
be effective must be connected up directly with the work and dominant
interests of the people. The government census shows that 68% of the
people of Iowa are rural and that 49.2% are actually living upon farms.
This makes agriculture the one dominant occupation of the state. For
women, of course, home economics is the one great interest, but women
living on the farm are almost equally interested in farm operations. While
Iowa is not a large manufacturing state at present, the output of its fac-
tories is increasing steadily each year. Industry in one form or another
takes most of the time of every one and there is no reason why our educa-
tion should not connect up more and more with industry. It should put
joy and satisfaction as well as scientific insight into all industrial and
manual occupations.
Any county superintendent can instruct teachers as to the legal require-
ments or the requirements of the State Educational Board of Examiners
with reference to the new subjects. Rural teachers taking work in agri-
culture, home economics or manual training may have the grades in these
subjects transferred direct to the certificate on completion of twelve
weeks of work, but the work for rural and grade teachers this year does
not lead to a certificate for twelve weeks of normal training. Agriculture,
home economics and manual training are the subjects in which the Iowa
State College of all institutions is prepared to help teachers.

COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES
The courses described below are the same as those offered during the
college year and will be taught by the regular college faculty. The de-
scriptions are quoted from the regular college catalog.
Other courses may be offered when requested by a sufficient number of
students. Students who have become irregular due to military service,
food production, manufacture of munitions, or other causes incident to
the war will be given every opportunity possible to make up their work
during the Summer Session. Some special classes will be organized for
this purpose.
As the Summer Session is approximately one-half the length of a col-
lege quarter, the number of hours per week devoted to a course in the
Summer Session will be two times what is shown in the descriptions
below. Nine hours per week constitutes full work in the college courses.
There is little doubt but that the numbers wanting each course will justify
offering it.
A resolution adopted by the Iowa Council of Education indicated about
forty-eight quarter hours of technical agriculture of a college grade as the
minimum for a regular teacher of agriculture in the high school. This
amount of work will easily be secured in successive Summer Sessions.
The work in agriculture offered during the summer of 1919 includes ad-
ditional courses to meet further demands for agriculture. The prospec-
tive student who is looking forward to several Summer Sessions in suc-
cession is advised to plan his work so as to cover the field in a reasonable
manner and meet the minimum requirements as suggested by the Iowa
Council of Education.
The regular amount of work for a single Summer Session will enable
one to secure eighteen hours of agriculture and this will meet require-
ments in some schools. Any combination of animal husbandry, agricul-
tural engineering, dairy, farm crops, farm management, poultry, horti-
culture, or soils, would be acceptable and all of this is the right type of
agricultural work for the prospective high school teacher. The reasonably
small units of specialized work are considered much more desirable than
courses in general agriculture. The schedule is so arranged as to avoid
conflict and enable the student to carry the full amount of agriculture
during the first and second halves of the summer school.
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

GENERAL COURSES
The Iowa State College offers in the Summer Session, as during the
regular year, courses of a non-collegiate grade to help groups who are
praticularly interested in the special lines of work offered by the College.
During the summer these courses consist of home-makers' courses for
mature women and special courses in agriculture, home economics, manual
training and didactics for rural and grade teachers. These courses are
described briefly below.
HOMEMAKERS' COURSES
The division of Home Economics will offer beginning and continuation
courses of a very practical nature for homemakers of the state who may
desire to take advantage of the summer work. This work has always
been very popular because of its intensely practical nature and this sum-
mer it has been decided to offer all courses coordinately, that is, without
any pre-requisite requirements.
Women who desire to come for the first two weeks of the Summer
School can secure available units of work in the homemakers' courses and
have at the same time an opportunity of attending the Rural Life Con-
ference, or they may find full schedule of valuable work in the conference
course, description of which follows :
Conference Course. This course is planned to meet the needs of
busy housewives who desire to keep in touch with the best methods
of solving problems connected with the management of a home.
The course pre-supposes a practical knowledge of cooking, sewing
and cleaning which every housewife has. It aims to take up prob-
lems relating to the care of the family. The food problems will
include feeding the family so as to meet the dietetic needs of each
member ; economical marketing and sanitary care of food. The
clothing discussions will include help in judging and buying of
household textiles, short cuts in sewing; the use of machine attach-
ments and efficient laundering. The management of the family in-
come will include suggestions as to keeping of household accounts
and budgeting.
This course will be conducted by means of lectures, discussions
and demonstrations. Opportunity will be given for conferences on
individual problems. The facilities of the laboratories and library
will be open to members of the class. In any study of efficiency we
know that physical health is essential. The Women's Gymnasium
and swimming pool will be open for class work, and conferences will
be held to discuss the need for providing community health and play
programs.

RURAL AND GRADE TEACHERS' COURSES
Tuition Free
(Students who are high school graduates may take College credit work
in agriculture, home economics and manual training upon payment of the
fees, thus securing College credit as well as good work in useful subject
matter.)
The work for rural and grade teachers is offered to enable such
teachers to have the advantages of the unusual facilities of The Iowa
State College in preparation for teaching agriculture, home economics and
manual training in the public schools, in an intelligent and effective man-
ner. The instruction emphasizes the elemental phases of the subjects and
gives particular attention to methods of preparing material and of organ-
izing the work in the rural schools. The laboratories and teaching equip-
ment of the College, including the library and the experiment farms, will
be available to the students, but the aim throughout will be to handle the
work so as to illustrate the possibilities of effectively teaching these sub-
jects in the rural schools. The primary object is to give work in the in-
dustrial subjects to present and prospective teachers, and other work will
be offered only when carried along with industrial work.
Admission to this course requires graduation from the common
schools and the recommendation of the County Superintendent of
Schools. The grades secured in agriculture, home economics and
manual training are accepted by the State Educational Board of Ex-
aminers at full value and transferred by them direct to teachers'
certificates provided the work in any one of the subjects is carried
as daily recitation for twelve weeks or double that amount of time
for six weeks. The work for rural and grade teachers does not meet
normal training requirements.
Provision is made for the following work :
1. General Agriculture S-3. This popular course dealing with Farm
Crops, Plant Production, and Soils, will be offered during the first half of
the 1919 Summer Session. The course is especially adapted to rural
teachers. There will be two sections reciting daily.
2. General Agriculture S-4. Topics dealt with are farm animals,
including horses, cattle, sheep and swine, but with particular emphasis
upon poultry. Poultry is considered by the state department and others
as a topic particularly adapting itself for treatment in the rural and grade
schools. The course will give the student a definite knowledge of the
qualities to expect in good stock and will consider selection, improvement,
34

care and management. Attention will also be given to dairying, including
the use of the Babcock test.
3. Sewing S-32. This course includes the teaching of plain sewing
upon articles which may be made in the one room rural school. Help
will be given in the selection of materials, the practical work of cutting,
finishing and repairing of garments, and in the use of the sewing machine.
This course will also include a study of the methods used in presenting
courses of sewing in the rural and grade schools.
4. Cooking S-37. This course aims to teach the fundamental principles
of cooking and the methods of teaching cooking in the rural schools. The
work will include a study of food preparation, food value to the body
and the planning and serving of economical meals. The major part of
the work will be done in the regular college laboratories, and the re-
mainder under conditions and with equipment that can be duplicated in
the rural schools. A study will be made of equipment and of courses of
study for the rural school.
5. General Manual Training S-6. The introductory course of six
weeks in general manual training will deal with the rougher and more
practical farm problems and includes such exercises as saw horse, bench
hook, nail box, corn tray, bird house, hog trough, milking stool, bench
vise, seed sample case, chicken brooder, etc. Because of the bulky nature
of the models in the exercises undertaken in this course, materials will be
furnished without a fee and at the close of the course students will be
given an option to purchase the models. at actual cost of material.
6. General Manual Training v S-7. This will be a continuation of gen-
eral manual training S-6, but will deal more particularly with farm home
problems. The exercises will require more refined work and a higher
degree of finish and will include the necessary basis in drawings and read-
ings of the same. The following are some of the exercises which will
be undertaken : Book rack, plant stand, waste basket, medicine case, hall
tree, porch swing, bulletin case, screen, small Step ladder, sleeve board,
flv trap, etc. Students will pay for lumber actually used and the com-
pleted work will become the property of the student. Double period daily.
X. Didactics. The work in didactics for rural and grade teachers will
COfl it of two courses, as follows:
Didactics T. A general course in didactics having in mind the pre-
35
paration of the teacher for school work and for passing the examination.
The course will deal with management, study and the technique of the
recitation. Special methods in the common branches.
Didactics II. — Primary methods with particular attention to primary
reading, busy work, and the special problems of the primary teacher.
This course will be handled again during the coming summer by Miss
Bertha Stiles, who has made it such a valuable course for lower grade
teachers.
9. Other Work. Teachers of any grade who are enrolled in the Sum-
mer Session and are prepared to take college credit work may select sub-
jects offered in the college credit list in so far as they are prepared to
enter these classes. To secure college credit, the student must meet the
usual preliminary requirements. It is customary here, as in other colleges
and universities, to waive certain requisites in cases of mature students
who obviously are prepared to take college work and for good reason have
not complied with all the formal requirements.
The following list of college subjects will be of particular interest to
rural and grade teachers. See descriptions under college credit courses.

See schedules of recitations at close of catalog.
Last year 75% of the rural and grade teachers were qualified to take
college credit work. Accordingly the time schedule of the classes for the
above work has been arranged to permit this work to be taken in connec-
tion with other studies. In addition to the above, work in music and in
physical culture, including swimming, is open for rural and grade teachers.
FEES IN GENERAL COURSES
There will be no fees in connection with the work for rural and grade
teachers. In the industrial subjects students may take the finished pro-
duct on payment of the actual cost of materials used.

3. Upon your arrival at the depot at Ames, make yourself known to a
member of the Reception Committee, who will be recognized by the col-
lege badge. If for any reason you miss the committee, take the college
car to the college, and get off at Central Station. Men go direct to Alumni
Hall, women to Margaret Hall. Room assignments will be made at these
buildings. After securing a room, you are ready for registration. If you
come on the Interurban, get off at the Campus.
4. The following is the plan of registration :
(1) Go to the Registrar's office, fill out the two cards there fur-
nished you, pay the Summer Session fee (or deposit certificate signed
36
by your superintendent, entitling you to free tuition in the rural and
grade teachers' course), and obtain a receipt.
(2) From the registrar's office, you will be directed with reference
to classifying officers. Complete classification.
(3) If any of your courses carry laboratory fees, fee cards may
be secured from the instructors, and fees paid at the Treasurer's
office.
5. There are ample accommodations, and advanced notice is not neces-
sary. The college has been accustomed to handling 3,000 students during
the regular year. However, if your plans are matured sufficiently early,
it will assist in rapid assignment and registration if advanced notice is
given.

MODEL SCHOOL PROGRAM
Room 1, Central, Grades First and Third.
Room 3, Central, Grades Fifth and Eighth.
Note : Work in the model school begins at 8 o'clock and continues until
11:30. In the lower grades emphasis will be placed upon reading, lan-
guage, numbers, busy work. History, geography and nature work will be
secondary and more or less related to the language and story work.
The work in the upper grades will place greater emphasis upon English,
arithmetic, physiology and geography and will also demonstrate the possi-
bilities of work in home economics and agriculture. The rural school plan
on home economics work will be demonstrated three days each week
The work in agriculture will be correlated with the school plot at the
college and the home project work being carried by the pupils. Definite
schedule of program is not here given because of the necessity of changing
the program in order to properly accommodate the work for observatioi
purposes.

SCHEDULE FOR THE SECOND HALF
Schedule for the second half of the Summer Session is indicated below.
It is thought that this will not need to be modified. At any rate, modifica-
tion^ will be made only when students can be better accommodated.

The American's Creed
3[ BELIEVE in the United States of America as
a Government of the people, by the people,
for the people, whose just powers are derived from
the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Re-
public; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a
perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon
those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and
humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their
lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it my duty to my country to
love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to
respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The college always has recognized its special responsibility in the train-
ing o\ high school and college teachers of agriculture, manual training,
home economics, and the application of science to these vocational subjects.
Teachers in service can be helped best through the Summer Session,
and in a large measure they have a right to the advantages of the unusual
equipment of the Iowa State College. This is especially true since the
legislation requiring the teaching of the industrial subjects in the public
schools. In the forthcoming Summer Session the excellent facilities of
the college, as usual, will be available to the fullest extent to those who
wish to enroll as students.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
The establishment of vocational education on a large scale through the
Smith-Hughes bill places an additional responsibility upon the Iowa State
College, and this responsibility it wall endeavor to meet fully.
The Iowa State College has been authorized as the one institution of
the state to train teachers of vocational agriculture, and federal funds are
made available under the Smith-Hughes Vocational Educational Law for
the support of such training. The course for the training of teachers of
home economics at the Iowa State College has also been approved by the
State and Federal Vocational Boards. This means that the Iowa State
College has new obligations for the training of teachers under the Smith-
Hughes Law in addition to former obligations imposed by the Nelson
Amendment to the Morrill Act.
Who May Properly Attend. On account of the conditions of entrance,
many receive benefit from the Summer Sessions who do not attend during
the regular year. The following- should be particularly interested in the
Summer Session :
1. All Teachers, or persons expecting to teach next year, may use
the Summer Session to secure work in the industrial subjects as required
by recent legislation.
2. Teachers and Supervisors especially interested in advanced phases
of Agricultural Education, Home Economics Education, or education in
Trades and Industry, — state Supervisors or special teachers of these sub-
jects under the- Smith-Hughes law r .
3. Superintendents, Principals and Supervisors. The large number
of superintendents and principals who have been enrolled in the Summer
Session in the past indicates clearly that it is serving them to good ad-
vantage, and meeting a special need which they feel for getting acquainted
with the newer subjects of manual- training and agriculture, together with
courses in vocational education. The Summer Session gives such super-
intendents and principals an opportunity to secure work of a high charac-
ter under regular college instruction and under favorable conditions.
4. County Superintendents. Six weeks at the Iowa State College
will be unusually helpful in view of the rapid development of the voca-
tional and industrial subjects in the schools.
5. High School Graduates will find an opportunity to start the college
bourse. High school graduates who think of entering the Iowa State
College in the fall of 1920 may take advantage of the Summer Session to
become acquainted with college methods and to secure work towards
graduation. Increasing numbers arc taking- advantage of the Summer
Session for this purpose.
6. Regular Students ix the Iowa State College may make up hack
work, shorten their course by doing advanced work, or increase their
clectives.
7. Students in other colleges who are interested in the industrial work
and related lines will find other colleges willing to accept credits made at
this institution.
8. Former GRADUATES may complete the necessary work in psychology
and vocational education in order to secure the first grade state certifi-
cate.
9. Any Mature Individual who gives evidence of ability to carry the
work with profit will be admitted without examination, but such individual
must satisfy the department concerned as to his or her ability to carry
the work.
10. Rural and Village Ministers will find especially valuable help in
the Rural Life Conference. Bankers, farmers, rural leaders, mothers and
daughters will find a welcome, an atmosphere of culture and inspiration,
and practical help for their work.
11. Women of maturity will find particular help in the homemakers'
courses offered during the Summer Session. These courses have proved
popular and have attracted women not only from all parts of Iowa, but
from all parts of the nation.
Conditions of Admission. All students who can profit by the instruc-
tion offered will be admitted without examination, admission to a partic-
ular course being satisfactory to the professor in charge. It is presumed
that all applying for admission have a serious purpose, and are interested
in the industrial work College credit will be granted, however, only to
those who meet standard entrance requirements, and all entering the
college for the first time are urged to send credentials to the regis-
trar covering entrance requirements or advanced standing, in order
that at the close of the summer term grades carrying college credit
may be sent out in regular form.
Studies and Credits. Nearly two hundred college credit studies arc
offered. An average student should be aide to make nine hours credit
during a single half of the Summer Session. All courses offered are com-
pleted during a single half of the Summer Session by increasing the num-
ber of recitations per week. There arc no split courses. A student desir-
ing to carry more than nine (or nine and a fraction) hours of college
credit work will be required to make application for permission to take
extra work, application being countersigned by the instructors involved.
Late Entrance. Because of the rapidity with which the work moves
in a short session, students should enter in time to attend the first session
of all clas.es. Work begins at 1 :()0 p.m. on Monday, June 14. Courses
in the new industrial subjects have laboratory periods, and students should
therefore plan to he present for the first meeting of the class.
General Courses. In the general courses, students will he given more
freedom as to the muiiher of hours to he carried. The schedule, however,
should he reasonable. Experience proves that a schedule that is too heavy
i- unsatisfactory both to the student and to the instructors.
Special Work. Students wishing to do advanced or other special work
not announced in this bulletin should communicate at an earl) date with
the Director of the Summer Session, or with the professor in whose de-
partment the) wish to work. Consideration may be given to a sufficient
niinihi r oi requests.
s
Meeting Residence Requirements for a Degree Through Summer
Session Work. Because of the largely increased attendance at the Sum-
mer Session, provision lias been made for the satisfying of residence
requirements for a degree on the basis of four Summer Sessions o!" six
weeks each. The amount of work required for the degree will need to be
supplemented by work in absence, or by correspondence.
Graduate and Research Work which will apply on the higher degrees
conferred by this institution will again be offered" in certain departments
during the Summer Session. In the recent Summer Sessions there have
been a goodly number of graduate students from this and other institu-
tions, who have availed themselves of this opportunity for completing
work towards the Master's or Doctor's degree. For further details re-
garding the opportunities lor advanced work, see page 27.
Fees. The single Summer Session fee of $5.00 for each half of the
session, covers work in all courses with the exception of the Music De-
partment. The fee for less than the full time is $1.00' a week," with $2.00
as a minimum; or $1.00 per credit hour for college credit work, with $2.00
as a minimum. Laboratory fees are indicated in connection with the
descriptions of the courses. No fee is charged for attendance at the
Rural Life Conference.
Room and Board. Room and board is available in private homes and
at the college dormitories at prices which are customary throughout Iowa.
The cafe in Alumni Hall will be open during the entire Summer Session,
and will be managed on the cafeteria plan.
Women will arrange for rooms through the regular college committee
of which the Advisor of Women is chairman. The college dormitories will
be open for women students for board and room. After the dormitories
arc filled, the Advisor of Women will assign women to selected houses about
the campus, where the regular college rules apply. In the dormitories and
private homes alike, mattresses only are furnished for the cots, so that
students should bring a pillow, sheets, pillow cases and an extra blanket.
Rooms for men will be available in private homes and rooming houses
about the campus. Rooming arrangements for men will be in charge of
the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Expenses. Expenses will vary with the individual. For each half
the expenses need not exceed $60 to $75, in addition to car fare. This
makes provision for tuition, room and board for six weeks, books and
laundry, and other incidentals.
Certificates. The State Board of Educational Examiners will grant
five-year, first-grade certificates to graduates of the Iowa State College, or
othcr approved colleges, who have completed (a) nine quarter-hours of
p>ychology, and (b) twenty-one hours of education. The courses offered
| in the Summer Session enable students to meet these requirements.
Teachers' Examination. The State Teachers' examination for June
i and July will be held at the college during the Summer Session for the
convenience of the teachers in attendance. One expecting to take an ex-
amination at the college should bring with him a statement from the
county superintendent, together with county superintendent's receipt show-
j big payment of fee, which will admit to the examination. Where such
j fee has not been previously paid it will be collected and forwarded to the
| county superintendent.
The Appointment Committee. In order to better serve the schools
of the state, the faculty has provided a regular Appointment Committee,
the duties of which are to assist tlie students of the college who desire to
I enter educational work, in finding positions for which they are best fitted,
and to aid school officials in finding the teachers, principals, supervisors
and superintendents best prepared for the positions to be filled. Students
of the Summer Session, who intend to teach or wish to better their posi-
tions, may register with this committee. Blanks which are provided for
that purpose may be secured by calling at the office of the Director of the
Summer Session, Room 318, Agricultural Hall. No fee is charged for the
services of this committee.
Chapel. Chapel services are held at 9 :30 a. m., Wednesday of each
week and all students are expected to attend. This is more or less in the
nature of a convocation as well as a chapel service, and furnishes oppor-
tunity for announcements or for brief remarks upon subjects of immedi-
ate interest.
Each Sunday evening, vesper services are held from 6:15 to 6:45 at the
campanile when the weather is favorable. In case of inclement weather,
the meeting is held in Agricultural Assembly.
Summer Employment. Students coming for the short Summer Ses-
sion are not advised to seek employment, but to give their full time to
school work. This is particularly urged in the case of teachers desiring
to have the grades in agriculture, home economics and manual training
transferred direct to the certificate.
There are usually some summer calls for help. Students may learn of
these calls through the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Recreation. While the primary object of the Summer Session is work
and study, yet these will be facilitated by a sufficient amount of recrea-
tion. Students are urged to effect organizations and to arrange for tourn-
aments in tennis, baseball, track, or indoor work. The Committee on
Games and Recreation will encourage and help in organizing the details of
this work.
Special Features. One feature of the Summer Session which is par-
ticularly worth while is the opportunity to hear educators of national repu-
tation. The policy of selecting a limited number of men whose addresses
no one can afford to miss will be continued this year. These lectures for
the most part are scheduled for the evening; occasionallv, however, at
5:00 o'clock.
The announcement is made with very great satisfaction that Dr. C. A.
Prosser, formerly Federal Director of Vocational Education, will be here
for a series of lectures during the Summer Session. Dr. Prosser is the
foremost authority in the country on vocational education.
Library. The library of the Iowa State College is well selected and .it
is so managed as to make it serviceable to all students during the Summer
Session.
Equipment. The equipment of the Iowa State College for work in
agriculture, home economics, manual training, and related subjects is in
keeping with the wealth and resources of the state. In many respects,
the Summer Session is the best season of the year for studying agri-
culture, and the regular college instructors in charge of the work use
freely the resources of the college and the experiment station.
Location. Ames is almost at the geographical center of the state of
[owa, on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. It is
about thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, with which it is connected
branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and by the Fort
Dodge, Des Moine! and Southern (interurban) running from Fort Dodge
and Rockwell City to Des Moines. A branch of the Chicago & North-
tern from Ames penetrates the northern part of the state. Ames is
proverbially a clean town, having no saloons or billiard halls.
Students should plan to arrive on Saturday or Monday. In case il
■
is absolutely necessary to arrive on Sunday, advanced notice should be
given, with the request that rooms be arranged for, at least temporarily.
CONFERENCES
Rural Life Conference. The Rural Life Conference is held during
the Summer Session.
In the past, this conference has been most helpful to Iowa and neigh-
boring states in stimulating and developing rural leadership. Speakers
of note from state and nation will appear before the conference.
The lectures in the Rural Life Conference are free to Summer Session
students, as well as members of the Conference. For special bulletin
giving detailed program of the Conference, write Dean Chas. F. Curtiss,
Chairman of the Rural Life Conference Committee.
Conference of Teachers of Agriculture. Professor W. H. Bender,
State Director of Vocational Education, has fixed the week of July 12 to
16 as the date for the Conference of Teachers of Vocational Agriculture.
In addition to special work by Professor Bender and his assistant, Pro-
fessor E. F. Cramer, specialists in various lines from the college, as well
as outside men, will participate in the conference. This conference should
be of interest, not only to present and prospective teachers of vocational
agriculture, but also to present teachers of general agriculture and to
principals and superintendents who desire to get in a short space of time
a reasonably adequate notion of the plans for vocational work in agri-
culture.
LEGAL PROVISIONS OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS
A large part of the work offered in the Summer Session is arranged in
direct response to recent legislation. Work is therefore arranged to meet
legal requirements. The laws of the state encouraging work in agricul-
ture, home economics and manual training are in common with similar
laws throughout the entire United States. The movement for the indus-
trial work in the schools is not local nor is it transitory. It is gathering
force each year. It is simply the recognition of the fact that education to
be effective must be connected up directly with the work and dominant
interests of the people. The government census shows that 68% of the
people of Iowa are rural and that 49.2% are actually living upon farms.
This makes agriculture the one dominant occupation of the state. For
women, of course, home economics is the one great interest, but women
living on the farm are almost equally interested in farm operations. While
Iowa is not a large manufacturing state at present, the output of its fac-
tories is increasing steadily each year. Industry in one form or another
takes most of the time of every one and there is no reason why our educa-
tion should not connect up more and more with industry. It should put
joy and satisfaction as well as scientific insight into all industrial and
manual occupations.
Any county superintendent can instruct teachers as to the legal require-
ments or the requirements of the State Educational Board of Examiners
with reference to the new subjects.

COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES
The courses described below are the same as those offered during the
college year and will be taught by the regular college faculty. The de-
scriptions are quoted from the regular college catalog.
Other courses may be offered when requested by a sufficient number of
students. Students who have become irregular due to military service,
food production, manufacture of munitions, or other causes incident to
the war will be given every opportunity possible to make up their work
during the Summer Session.
As the Summer Session is approximately one-half the length of a col-
lege quarter, the number of hours per week devoted to a course in the
Summer Session will be two times what is shown in the descriptions
below. Nine hours per week constitutes full work in the college courses.
There is little doubt but that the numbers wanting each course will justify
offering it.
The regular amount of work for a single Summer Session will enable
one to secure eighteen hours of agriculture and this will meet require-
ments in some schools. Any combination of animal husbandry, agricul-
tural engineering, dairy, farm crops, farm management, poultry, horti-
culture, or soils, is acceptable and all of this is the right type of agri-
cultural work for the prospective high school teacher. The reasonably
small units of specialized work are considered much more desirable than
courses in general agriculture. The schedule is so arranged as to avoid
conflict and enable the student to carry the full amount of agriculture
during the first and second halves of the summer school.

GENERAL COURSES
The Iowa State College offers in the Summer Session, as during the
regular year, courses of a non-collegiate grade to help groups who are
particularly interested in the special lines of work offered by the College.
During the summer these courses consist of home-makers' courses for
mature women and special courses in agriculture and trades and industry
for government students. These courses are described briefly below.
HOME-MAKERS' COURSES
The division of Home Economics will offer beginning and continuation
courses of a very practical nature for home-makers of the state who may
desire to take advantage of the summer work. This work has always
been very popular because of its intensely practical nature and this sum-
mer it has been decided to offer all courses coordinately, that is, without
any prerequisite requirements.
Women who desire to come for the first two weeks of the Summer
School can secure available units of work in the home-makers' courses and
have at the same time an opportunity of attending the Rural Life Con-
ference, or they may find full schedule of valuable work in the conference
course, description of which follows :
N. 1A. Food Preparation Service — Principles of cookery; develop-
ment of technique and skill ; planning, preparing and serving breakfasts.'
Rec. 2; labs. 2, 3 hr. ; credit 4; fee $5.00.

tive. These fundamental principles are applied to simple abstract problems
in lettering and spacing; furnish basis for specific problems.
Rec. 1 ; labs. 2, 3 hr. ; credit 3; fee $2.00.
RURAL AND GRADE TEACHERS' COURSES
The courses in Agriculture, Home Economics, Manual Training and
Didactics, as formerly offered in the Summer Session for rural and grade
teachers, have been discontinued for the general certificate subjects. Stu-
32
dents arc advised to attend the Iowa State Teachers' College or one of its
special summer session branches, or some other summer session offering
the general certificate subjects.
First Grade Certificate Subjects. Teachers will find, however, at the
Iowa State College an opportunity of preparing for examination in
the first grade certificate subjects — algebra, physics, economics and civics.
These subjects ma}' be pursued in regular college classes and, while the
work is possibly more difficult than needed simply for the examination,
yet many students are willing to do the additional work necessary to carry
a regular college course. See especially the following in the descriptions
of courses of the various departments and the schedule of recitations :
Math, la, Hist. 124, Econ. 51, Phys. 202, 203, 204.
Teachers who are high school graduates should arrange for entrance
requirements, so that, after completing work in any college course, state-
ment of credits may be received in the usual way. Teachers should be
interested in an opportunity of attending the Iowa State College and
taking work in the newer industrial subjects where there is abundant
opportunity in Home Economics, Agriculture, Manual Training, related
science and education.

lege badge. If for any reason you miss the committee, take the college car
to the college, and get off at Central Station. Men go direct to Alumni
Hall, women to Margaret Hall. Room assignments will be made at these
34
buildings. After securing a room, you arc ready for registration. If you
come on the Intcrurban, get off at the Campus.
3. The following is the plan of registration :
(1) Go to the Registrar's office, fill out the two cards there fur-
nished you, pay the Summer Session fee, and obtain a receipt.
(2) From the Registrar's office, yon will be directed with reference
to classifying officers.-* Complete classification.
(3) If any of your courses carry laboratory fees, fee cards may
be secured from the instructors, and fees paid at the Treasurer's
office.
4. There are ample accommodations, and advanced notice is not neces-
sary. The college has been accustomed to handling 4,000 students during
the regular year. However, if your plans are matured sufficiently early,
it will assist in rapid assignment and registration if advanced notice is
given.

THE FOOT-PATH TO PEACE
To be glad of life because it gives you the
chance to love and to work and to play and to
look up at the stars; to be contented with
your possessions, but not satisfied with your-
self until you have made the best of them ; to
despise nothing in the world except falsehood
and meanness, and to fear nothing except
cowardice; to be governed by your admira-
tions rather than by your disgusts ; to covet
nothing that is your neighbor's, except his
kindness of heart and gentleness of manners ;
to think seldom of your enemies, often of
your friends, and every day of Christ ; and to
spend as much time as you can, with body
and with spirit, in God's out-of-doors — these
are little guide-posts on the foot-path to
peace.
— Henry van Dyke

(Subjecl to Change)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The college always has recognized its special responsibility in the
training of high school and college teachers of agriculture, manual
training, home economics, and the application of science to these vo-
cational subjects.
Teachers in service can be helped best through the Summer Session,
and in a large measure they have a right to the advantages of the
unusual equipment of the Iowa State College. This is especially true
since the legislation requiring the teaching of the industrial subjects
in the public schools. In the forthcoming Summer Session the excel-
lent facilities of the college, as usual, will be available to the fullest
extent to those who wish to enroll as students.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
The establishment of vocational education on a large scale through
the Smith-Hughes bill places an additional responsibility upon the
Iowa State College, and this responsibility it will endeavor to meet
fully.
The Iowa State College has been authorized as the one institution
of the state to train teachers of vocational agriculture, and federal
funds are made available under the Smith-Hughes Vocational Educa-
tional Law for the support of such training.
The Iowa State College has also been approved by the State and
Federal Vocational Boards for the training of teachers of Home Eco-
nomics and Trades and Industry.
This means that the Iowa State College has new obligations for the
training of teachers under the Smith-Hughes Law in addition to former
obligations imposed by the Nelson Amendment to the Morrill Act.
Who May Attend. The rapid extension of vocational subjects in
the public schools is a direct result of the demands of democracy for
a type of education which functions in daily life. The vocational work
in the public schools has increased to such an extent that at the pres-
ent time all people engaged in school work are of necessity interested
in the vocational and industrial subjects. The superintendent needs
an acquaintance with such subjects in order to properly emphasize
them in the curriculum. The high school principal needs especially
to be familiar with such subjects in order properly to advise students
and in order to have the proper basis for vocational guidance and
direction. The teachers of the vocational subjects are of course in-
terested. Teachers of subjects that are not vocational, however, are
showing more and more interest in such subjects because they realize
the desirability of proper correlation of studies, and the opportunities
for motivating the older type of school work through articulation with
the industrial and vocational work. The program of industrial and
vocational work together with the related science and education that
is now being offered at Iowa State College is large enough, therefore,
to appeal to any progressive school man or woman.
Conditions of Admission. All students who can profit by the in-
struction offered will be admitted without examination, admission to
a particular course being satisfactory to the professor in charge. It
is presumed that all applying for admission have a serious purpose,
and are interested in the industrial work. College credit will be
granted, however, only to those who meet standard entrance require-
ments. All entering the college for the first time should send creden-
tials to the registrar covering entrance requirements or advanced
standing, in order that at the close of the summer term grades carry-
ing college credit may be sent out in regular form.
Studies and Credits. Nearly two hundred college credit studies are
offered. An average student should be able to make nine hours credit
during a single half of the Summer Session. All courses offered are
completed during a single half of the Summer Session by increasing
the number of recitations per week. There are no split courses.
Late Entrance. Because of the rapidity with which the work moves
in a short session, students should enter in time to attend the first
session of all classes. Work begins at 8:00 a. m. on Monday, June 13.
Most courses have laboratory periods, and students should therefore
plan to be present for the first meeting of the class.
Special Work. Students wishing to do advanced or other special
work not announced in this bulletin should communicate at an early
date with the Director of the Summer Session, or with the professor
in whose department they wish to work. Consideration may be given
to a sufficient number of requests. For statement on graduate work
see page 30.
Fees. The single Summer Session fee of $5.00 for each half of the
session, covers work in all courses with the exception of the Music
Department. The fee for less than the full time is $1.00 a week, with
$2.00 as a minimum; or $1.00 per credit hour for college credit work,
with $2.00 as a minimum. Laboratory fees are indicated in connection
with the descriptions of the courses.
Room and Board. Room and board is available in private homes and
at the college dormitories at prices which are customary throughout
Iowa. The cafe in Alumni Hall will be open during the entire Sum-
mer Session, and will be managed on the cafeteria plan.
Women will arrange for rooms through the regular college committee
of which the Adviser of Women is chairman. The college dormitories
will be open for women students for board and room and all women
students will be assigned to dormitories. In the dormitories and pri-
vate homes alike, mattresses only are furnished for the cots, so that
students should bring a pillow, sheets, pillow cases and an extra
blanket.
Rooms for men will be available in private homes and rooming houses
about the campus. Rooming arrangements for men will be in charge
of the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Expenses. Expenses will vary with the individual. For each half
the expenses need not exceed $75 or $80 in addition to car fare. This
makes provision for tuition, room and board for six weeks, books and
laundry, and other incidentals.
Certificates. The State Board of Educational Examiners will grant
five-year, first-grade certificates to graduates of the Iowa State Col-
lege, or other approved colleges, who have completed (a) nine quarter-
hours of psychology, and (b) twenty-one hours of education. The
courses offered in the Summer Session enable students to meet these
requirements. #
Teachers' Examination. The State Teachers' examination for June
and July will be held at the college during the Summer Session for the
convenience of the teachers in attendance. One expecting to take an
examination at the college should bring with him a statement from
the county superintendent, together with county superintendent's re-
ceipt showing payment of fee, which will admit to the examination.
i
Where such fee has not been previously paid it will be collected and
forwarded to the county superintendent.
The Appointment Committee. In order to better serve the schools
of the state, the faculty has provided a regular Appointment Commit-
tee, the duties of which are to assist the students of the college who
desire to enter educational work, in finding positions for which they
are best fitted, and to aid school officials in finding the teachers, prin-
cipals, supervisors and superintendents best prepared for the positions
to be filled. Students of the Summer Session, who intend to teach or
wish to better their positions, may register with this committee.
Blanks which are provided for that purpose may be secured by calling
CENTRAL CAMPUS
at the office of the Director of the Summer Session, Room 318, Agri-
cultural Hall. No fee is charged for the services of this committee.
Chapel. Chapel services are held at 10:20 a. m., Wednesday of each
week and all students are expected to attend. This is more or less
in the nature of a convocation as well as a chapel service, and fur-
nishes opportunity for announcements or for brief remarks upon sub-
jects of immediate interest.
Each Sunday evening, vesper services are held from 6:15 to 6:45 at
the campanile when the weather is favorable. In case of inclement
weather, the meeting is held in Agricultural Assembly.
Summer Employment. Students coming for the short Summer Ses-
sion are not advised to seek employment, but to give their full time to
school work.
There are usually some summer calls for help. Students may learn
of these calls through the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Recreation. While the primary object of the Summer Session is
work and study, yet these will be facilitated by a sufficient amount of
recreation. Students are urged to effect organizations and to arrange
for tournaments in tennis, baseball, track, or indoor work. The Com-
mittee on Games and Recreation will encourage and help in organiz-
ing the details of this work. The swimming pool in the Men's Gym-
nasium will be open daily for men from 4:00 to 6:00 p. m.
Special Features. One feature of the Summer Session which is par-
ticularly worth while is the opportunity to hear educators of national
reputation. The policy of selecting a limited number of men whose
addresses no one can afford to miss will be continued this year. These
lectures for the most part are scheduled for the evening; occasionally,
however, at 5:00 o'clock.
Since the National Education Association meets in Des Moines dur-
ing the present summer, there will be an opportunity of securing edu-
cators of national fame on a more extended scale than usual. It is
planned to put on a little N. E. A. at Ames for the benefit of the Sum-
mer Session students.
Library. The library of the Iowa State College is well selected and
it is so managed as to make it serviceable to all students during the
Summer Session.
Equipment. The equipment of the Iowa State College for work in
agriculture, home economics, trades and industry, manual training,
and related subjects is in keeping with the wealth and resources of
the state. In many respects, the Summer Session is the best season
of the year for studying agriculture, and the regular college instructors
in charge of the work use freely the resources of the college and the
experiment station.
Location. Ames is almost at the geographical center of the state
of Iowa, on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. It
is about thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, with which it is con-
nected by a branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and
by the Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Southern (interurban) running
from Fort Dodge and Rockwell City to Des Moines. A branch of the
Chicago & Northwestern from Ames penetrates the northern part of
the state. Ames is proverbially a clean town.
Students should plan to arrive on Saturday. In case it is absolutely
necessary to arrive on Sunday, advanced notice should be given, with
the request that rooms be arranged for, at least temporarily.
CONFERENCES
Rural Life Conference. The Rural Life Conference is now held at
the time of the Mid-winter Short course instead of during the Sum-
mer Session.
Conference of Teachers of Agriculture. Professor W. H. Bender,
State Director of Vocational Education, has fixed the week of July 11
to 15 as the date for the Conference of Teachers of Vocational Agri-
culture. In addition to special work by Professor Bender and his as-
sistant, Professor Louis Wermelskirchen, specialists in various lines
from the college, as well as outside men, will participate in the con-
ference. This conference should be of interest, not only to present
and prospective teachers of vocational agriculture, but also to present
teachers of general agriculture and to principals and superintendents
who desire to get in a short space of time a reasonably adequate no-
tion of the plans for vocational work in agriculture.

COLLEGE CREDIT COURSES
The courses described below are the same as those offered during
the college year and will be taught by the regular college faculty.
The descriptions are quoted from the regular college catalog.
Other courses may be offered when requested by a sufficient num-
ber of students. Students who have become irregular due to military
service, food production, manufacture of munitions, or other causes
incident to the war will be given every opportunity possible to make
up their work during the Summer Session.
As the Summer Session is approximately one-half the length of a
college quarter, the number of hours per week devoted to a course in
the Summer Session will be two times what is shown in the descrip-
tions below. The schedule of recitations at the close of the catalog
shows the actual number of recitations and laboratories per week
during the Summer Session.
Nine hours per week constitute full work in the college courses.
There is little doubt but that the numbers wanting each course will
justify offering it.
The regular amount of work for a single Summer Session will en-
able one to secure eighteen hours of agriculture and this will meet
requirements in some schools. Any combination of animal husbandry,
agricultural engineering, dairy, farm crops, farm management, poultry,
horticulture, or soils, is acceptable and all of this is the right type of
agricultural work for the prospective high school teacher. The rea-
sonably small units of specialized work are considered much more de-
sirable than courses in general agriculture. The schedule is so ar-
ranged as to avoid conflict and enable the student to carry the full
amount of agriculture during the first and second halves of the sum-
mer school.

GENERAL COURSES
The Iowa State College offers in the Summer Session, as during the
regular year, courses of a non-collegiate grade to help groups who are
particularly interested in the special lines of work offered by the
College.
During the summer these courses consist of home-makers' courses for
mature women and special courses in agriculture and trades and in-
dustries for government students. These courses are described briefly
below.
HOME-MAKERS' COURSES
The division of Home Economics will offer beginning and continua-
tion courses of a very practical nature for home-makers of the state
who may desire to take advantage of the summer work. This work
has always been very popular because of its intensely practical nature

RURAL AND GRADE TEACHERS' COURSES
Teachers should be interested in an opportunity of attending Iowa
State College and taking work in the newer industrial subjects where
there is abundant opportunity in Home Economics, Agriculture, Manual
Training, related science and education.
First Grade Certificate Subjects. Teachers will find at the Iowa
State College an opportunity of preparing for examination in the
first grade certificate subjects — algebra, physics, economics and civics.
These subjects may be pursued in regular college classes and, while
the work is possibly more difficult than needed simply for the exam-
ination, yet many students are willing to do the additional work nec-
essary to carry a regular col logo course. See especially the following
in the descriptions of courses of the various departments and the
Bchedule of recitations: Math, la, Hist. 124, Econ. 51, Phys. 202,
203, 204.
Teachers who are high school graduates should arrange for en-
trance requirements, so that, after completing work in any college
course, statement of credits may be received in the usual way.

The Country Boy's Greed
BELIEVE that the country which
God made is more beautiful than
the city which man made ; that
life out of doors and in touch
with the earth is the natural
life for man. I helieve that work is
work wherever we find it, but that work
with Nature is more inspiring than work
with the most intricate machinery. I be-
lieve that the dignity of labor depends not
on what you do, but on how you do it;
that opportunity comes to a boy on the
farm as often as to a boy in the city, that
life is larger and freer and happier on the
farm than in the town ; that my success
depends not upon my location, but upon
myself — not upon my dreams, but upon
what I actually do, not upon luck but upon
pluck. I believe in working when you
work and in playing when you play and in
giving and demanding a square deal in
every act of life. — Edwin 0. Grover.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Summer Session work was offered by the Iowa State College for
the first time in 1911. In that summer a short course extending
over two weeks was attended by about fifty superintendents and
high school teachers of the state. In 1912 the Summer Session was
extended to six weeks, and had a total enrollment of 128 students.
Since that time the interest in Agriculture and Industrial subjects
has increased tremendously, not only in this state, but throughout
the United States. At the present time agriculture is taught in every
state, and in most states is a required subject.
In response to the increased demand, the Summer Session has
been expanded to two terms of six weeks each, and the work of
these two terms made the equivalent of that offered in other quar-
ters of the college year. In recent years not only teachers but many
others have been attracted by the opportunities of the Summer Ses-
sion. In 1921 the attendance was 723 for the first term and 365
for the second term. Of these a considerable proportion were teach-
ers, but many were regular college students.
SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF THE SUMMER SESSION
The college year is divided into four approximately equal periods
of eleven to twelve weeks each. These are termed the Fall, Winter,
and Spring quarters, and the Summer Session (or Summer Quarter).
For convenience of students the Summer Session is divided into
two terms of six weeks each. Inasmuch as it is desirable to have
each term of the Summer Session stand as a unit, subjects taught
during a term of six weeks have twice as many class and laboratory
periods per week as do the same subjects taught during the Fall,
Winter, or Spring Quarters. The student furthermore carries only
one-half the number of subjects. This intensive application to a
small number of subjects has proved very satisfactory.
THE FACULTY
The instruction in the Summer Session is given by a corps of
about 175 teachers belonging to the regular staff. The subjects
taught in the Summer Session are given by the same specialists that
teach them in the other quarters of the college year. Practically
all of the heads of departments, and most of those of professorial
rank, are in residence during one of the summer terms. The op-
portunities for contact with leading educators in their respective
fields are fully as great during the Summer Session as during the
remainder of the year.
11
OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDY
Work is offered to undergraduate students during the Summer
Session in most of the departments of the institution. For detailed
information as to subjects see page 22. The opportunity to secure
this work should appeal to men and women of the following groups:
Regular students. Students in residence during other quarters
of the college year who have become "irregular" because of insuffi-
cient preparation for entering technical courses of study at the
college, or because they have entered college in some quarter other
than the Fall, will be enabled to correct their deficiencies and "catch
up" in their work. Students who expect to enter a technical course
of study in the Fall Quarter, particularly Engineering and Industrial
Science, will frequently find it advantageous to attend a term of the
preceding Summer Session in order to take such pretechnical sub-
jects as may be required of them.
A considerable number of regular students find it possible to
shorten materially the length of their college courses or to lighten
work of the other quarters when necessary.
Students who plan to teach will find in the Summer Session an
excellent opportunity to complete the necessary work in Psychology
and in Vocational Education required by law.
Teachers, principals and supervisors who have not completed a
college course leading to a Bachelor's Degree and who are particu-
larly interested in Agricultural Education, Home Economics Edu-
cation, or education in Trades and Industries, and in the related
sciences and technical subjects will be able to advance themselves
toward such degree.
Any Mature Individual who satisfies the department concerned as
to his ability to carry the work desired will be admitted without
examination.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRADUATE STUDY
For details relative to degrees and subjects see page 18. An in-
creasingly large proportion of the Summer Session students have
been those who already have a baccalaureate degree and are inter-
ested in advanced or graduate work. Among those who find excep-
tional opportunity to advance themselves toward a Master's or a
Doctor's degree are the following:
Teachers and supervisors of Agriculture, Home Economics, Man-
ual Training and Trades and Industries in the public schools, par-
ticularly high schools and consolidated schools, may pursue advanced
courses relating to their particular fields. Those who are graduates
in technical courses will usually be interested in securing an ad-
vanced degree by pursuing major work in some department in
Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, etc., with minor work
in Vocational Education. Those who are graduates of non-technical
institutions will usually be interested in carrying major work in
Vocational Education and minor work in Agriculture, Home Econom-
ics or Trades and Industries.
Superintendents, principals and supervisors. The large number
of superintendents and principals who have been enrolled in the
Summer Session in the past indicates clearly that it is serving them
to good advantage, and meeting a special need for getting acquainted
with the newer subjects of Agriculture, and Trades and Industries,
as well as offering courses in Vocational Education. An examina-
12
tion of the Iowa Directory indicates that Agriculture is taught in
the high schools of the state by the superintendents more often than
by any other single group. The Summer Session gives such super-
intendents and principals an opportunity to secure work of a high
character under regular college instruction and under favorable
conditions. Elementary and advanced courses are offered in the
present session in soils, farm crops, animal husbandry, dairying,
agricultural engineering, and horticulture, and in the related sub-
jects of rural sociology, agricultural economics, agricultural educa-
tion, botany, bacteriology, etc.
Teachers of the sciences. Excellent opportunities will be offered
those who wish to pursue advanced courses in the biological, mathe-
matical and physical sciences.
Regular graduate students. Many of the graduate students of
the regular college year find conditions particularly advantageous
during the Summer Session to continue their graduate work. Many
research problems can be handled most satisfactory during this
period.
Teachers and investigators in technical schools. Particular at-
tention should be called to several fields in which special emphasis
will be placed during the Summer Session upon graduate instruc-
tion. These include in the department of Animal Husbandry the
subjects of meats and experimental methods; in the department of
Civil Engineering the subject of highway engineering and highway
research; in the department of Agricultural Engineering the sub-
ject of research methods; and in the departments in Home Econom-
ics the subjects of foods, nutrition, household art and administration.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
The rapid extension of the teaching of vocational subjects in the
public schools is a direct result of the demands of democracy for a
type of education which functions in daily life.
The Iowa State College has been authorized as the one institution
of the state to train teachers of vocational agriculture, and federal
funds are made available under the Smith-Hughes Vocational Law
for the support of such training.
The Iowa State College has also been approved by the State and
Federal Vocational Board for the training of teachers of Home
Economics and Trades and Industries.
This means that the Iowa State College has new obligations for
the training of teachers under the Smith-Hughes Law in addition
to former obligations imposed by the Nelson Amendment to the
Morrill Act. This responsibility it will endeavor to meet fully.
The program of industrial and vocational work, combined with
the related science and education that are offered at Iowa State
College, is large enough to appeal to any progressive school man or
woman. The superintendent needs an acquaintance with such sub-
jects in order to advise students and in order to have the proper
high school principal needs especially to be familiar with such sub-
jects in order to advise students and in order to have the proper
basis for vocational guidance and direction. The teachers of the
vocational subjects are of course interested. Teachers of subjects
that are not vocational, however, are showing more and more inter-
est in such subjects because they realize the desirability of proper
13
correlation of studies, and the opportunities for motivating the
older type of school work through articulation with the industrial
and vocational work.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR NON-COLLEGIATE STUDY
The non-collegiate courses in Agriculture are offered to meet the
demands of young men and young women who may not have had
the advantages of high school training and who wish to obtain
preparation for practical agricultural work.
Study of farm plants and farm animals forms the basis of most
of the work. Flocks and herds of most of the leading breeds of
farm animals are available for careful study. Fields of the various
grains and grasses are found on the College farm. Gardens and
orchards, greenhouses and nurseries, storage caves and storage
houses which are found on the College grounds give the student
opportunity to study problems first hand. The meat laboratory
affords practice in the cutting, curing, and preparation of farm
meats. The commercial creamery operated by the College gives
the student opportunity for study and practice.
The non-collegiate courses in Trades and Industries are for those
who wish to prepare themselves for industrial positions througn
practical and intensive courses of training. These are not engineer-
ing courses nor are they intended to train men for the engineering
profession. Their main purpose is to make available for earnest,
enthusiastic young men of mature habits, a training which will help
them to increase their earning capacity and prepare them for re-
sponsible positions with the industries.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
(For admission to Graduate Courses see page 18.)
(For requirements for Non-Collegiate Courses, see page 41.)
The entrance requirements for work in the Summer Sessions do
not differ from those of the remainder of the college year.
The undergraduate courses of instruction are open to those who
belong to the following groups:
a. Graduates of approved high schools or those who have passed
the entrance examinations. See (A) below.
b. Students presenting advanced standing from other institu-
tions of higher learning. See (B) below.
c. Mature individuals who are able to profit by the instruction
given, but who are not candidates for a degree. These are
admitted as unclassified students.
(A) A graduate of a public four-year high school in Iowa, who
presents fifteen units of work, will be admitted without examination
to such collegiate work as he is prepared to pursue, upon presenting
a certificate signed by the Superintendent or the Principal, specify-
ing the branches of study and credits included within his high school
course of study. A graduate of any private four-year high school,
seminary, or academy approved by the Board on Secondary School
Relations will be admitted on the same basis. Applicants for ad-
mission to all collegiate courses should be at least sixteen years
of age.
II a high school graduate does not meet present admission require-
ments to the course he desires to pursue the deficiency must be
14
removed by studies taken at the College. Credit earned in removing
such deficiencies will not be applied toward college graduation in the
specific course chosen.
Official high school records should be filed with the Registrar by
June first, if possible, in order to avoid delays when registering. For
further information concerning the requirements for admission write
to the Registrar for the special bulletin on "Admission and Courses
of Instruction."
(B) Students of other colleges will be admitted to advanced
standing in this College under the following conditions:
First, they must present a letter of honorable dismissal.
Second, the entrance requirements to this College must be fully
satisfied.
Third, it is required that all credits from other colleges be sent
by the proper officers of such institution, duly certified, to the
Registrar of this College; such certificates to include number of
weeks the student has pursued the studies in question and the
number of hours' credit received in each quarter or semester, as
well as the portion of the subject covered.
CREDITS
The credits granted for the subjects completed in the Summer
Session are the same as are granted during other quarters. A credit
is granted for the completion of one hour per week of class work
with necessary preparation, or of one three-hour laboratory period
for twelve weeks, or twice this number for a term of six weeks.
Residence Requirement. For graduate students attendance upon
four summer terms of six weeks is considered the equivalent of one
year at the College.
CERTIFICATES
The State Board of Educational Examiners will grant five-year
first-grade state certificates to graduates of the Iowa State College,
or other approved colleges, who have completed (a) nine quarter-
hours of psychology, and (b) twenty-one hours of education. The
courses offered in the Summer Session enable students to meet these
requirements.
TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS
The State Teachers' examination for June and July will be held
at the College during the Summer Session for the convenience of
the teachers in attendance. One expecting to take an examination
at the College should bring with him a statement from the county
superintendent, together with the county superintendent's receipt
showing payment of fee, which will admit to the examination. Where
such fee has not been previously paid it will be collected and for-
warded to the county superintendent.
THE APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE
In order to serve better the schools of the state, the faculty has
provided an Appointment Committee, the duties of which are to
assist the students of the College who desire to enter educational
work, in finding positions for which they are best fitted, and to aid
15
school officials in finding the teachers, principals, supervisors, and
superintendents best prepared for the positions to be filled. Stu-
dents of the Summer Session who intend to teach or wish to better
their positions may register with this committee. Blanks provided
for that purpose may be secured by calling at the office of the
Department of Vocational Education, Room 318, Agricultural Hall.
No fee is charged for the service of this committee.
CHAPEL
A chapel service is held at 10:20 a. m., Wednesday of each week,
and all students are expected to attend. This is more or less in the
nature of a convocation as well as a chapel service, and furnishes
opportunity for announcements or for brief remarks upon subjects
of immediate interest.
Each Sunday evening vesper services are held from 6:15 to 6:4;!)
at the campanile when the weather is favorable. In case of in-
clement weather, the meeting is held in Agricultural Assembly.
RECREATION
While the primary object of the Summer Session is work and
study, yet these will be facilitated by a sufficient amount of recre-
ation. Students are urged to effect organization and to arrange for
tournaments in tennis, baseball, track or indoor work. The Com-
mittee on Games and Recreation will encourage and help in organiz-
ing the details of this work. The swimming pool in the Men's Gym-
nasium will be open daily for men each afternoon.
Special Features. One feature of the Summer Session which is
particularly worth while is the opportunity to hear educators of
national reputation. The policy of selecting a limited number of
men whose addresses no one can afford to miss will be continued this
year. These lectures for the most part are scheduled for the
evening; occasionally, however, at 5:00 o'clock.
LIBRARY
The various libraries are open for the use of Summer Session
students.

The college hospital and dispensary will be open throughout the
summer session.
EQUIPMENT
The equipment of the Iowa State College for work in agriculture,
home economics, trades and industries, manual training, and related
subjects is in keeping with the wealth and resources of the state.
In many respects, the Summer Session is the best season of the
year for studying agriculture, and the regular college instructors
in charge of the work use freely the resources of the College and
the experiment stations.
FEES
The incidental fee for each half of the Session is $5.00. The fee
for less than the full time is $1.00 a week, with $2.00 as a mini-
mum; or $1.00 per credit hour for college credit work, with $2.00
as a minimum. Laboratory fees are indicated in connection with
the descriptions of the courses.
16
EXPENSES
Expenses will vary with the individual. For each half the ex-
penses need not exceed $75.00 or $80.00 in addition to car fare.
This makes provision for tuition, room and board for six weeks,
books, laundry, and other incidentals.
Women will arrange for rooms through the regular College com-
mittee of which the Dean of Women is chairman. The College
dormitories will be open for women students for board and room
and all women students will be assigned to dormitories. Mattresses
only are furnished for the cots. The student should bring a pillow,
sheets, pillow cases, and an extra blanket.
Rooms for men will be available in private homes and rooming
houses about the campus. Rooming arrangements for men will be
in charge of the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The Cafeteria in
Alumni Hall will be open during the entire Summer Session.
SUMMER EMPLOYMENT
Although students coining for the short Summer Session are ad-
vised not to seek employment, but to give their full time to school
work, there are usually some summer calls for help. Students may
learn of these calls through the Secretary of the Y. W. C. A.
LOCATION
Ames is almost at the geographical center of the state of Iowa,
on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. It is
about thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, with which it is con-
nected by a branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad and
by the Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Southern (interurban) running
from Fort Dodge and Rockwell City to Des Moines. A branch of the
Chicago & Northwestern from Ames penetrates the northern part
of the state. Ames is proverbially a clean town.
CONFERENCES
Conference of Teachers of Agriculture. Professor W. H. Bender,
State Director of Vocational Education, has fixed the week of July
17 to 22, as the date for the Conference of Teachers of Vocational
Agriculture. In addition to special work by Professor Bender and
his assistants, specialists in various lines from the College, as well
as outside men, will participate in the conference. This conference
should be of interest, not only to present and prospective teacher*
of vocational agriculture, but also to present teachers of general
agriculture and to principals and superintendents who desire to get
in a short space of time a reasonably adequate notion of the plans
for vocational work in agriculture.
17
GRADUATE INSTRUCTION
The Summer Session offers an exceptional opportunity to the
qualified student who plans to pursue graduate work at Iowa State
College. Practically all departments of the institution offering
major subjects retain in residence during one or both terms of the
Summer Session, teachers particularly qualified to direct graduate
study in their respective fields. In many subjects the Summer
Session is the most satisfactory for graduate work. The entire
laboratory, library and instructional facilities will be put at the
disposal of those who can profit by graduate work in the technical
and related scientific fields. The graduate faculty remains prac-
tically intact during the first term, and a considerable proportion
are likewise in residence during the second term.
The student expecting to do graduate work in summer school
will find a more detailed account of method of matriculation and
requirements for degrees in the Graduate Catalogue, which may
be had on request from the College Registrar or from the Dean of
the Graduate College.
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE COLLEGE
Graduates of approved colleges may be admitted to graduate stand-
ing in Iowa State College by filling out duplicate applications for
admission and filing these together with a complete authoritative
transcript of college records, including entrance credits. Upon ap-
proval of the application a matriculation card will be issued by the
College Registrar. Enrollment in graduate work does not neces-
sarily imply candidacy for a degree.
After registration in the Graduate College the student may be
admitted to candidacy for a degree after total residence of at least
one quarter, provided the specific prerequisite requirements of the
department in which major work is to be taken have been met. This
must be done at least one quarter before the conferring of a master's
degree, and one year (or in exceptional cases two quarters) before
the conferring of a doctor's degree.
ADVANCED DEGREES
Master of Science. For the requirements for the degree Master
of Science the graduate catalogue should be consulted. In general
at least thirty credits must be completed in graduate subjects in the
department in which the major units are taken, and not to exceed
fifteen credit credits in minor graduate work, a total of at least
forty-five credits. Inasmuch as fifteen credits represents full gradu-
ate work for a quarter, it is evident that this is the equivalent of
three quarters spent in graduate work.
The degree of Master of Science in Vocational Education is con-
ferred upon students having excellent preliminary training in edu-
cation who complete at least thirty graduate credits in Vocational
Education and thirty additional credits in either agriculture, home
economics or trades and industries. For details see the description
under Vocational Education below.
Doctor of Philosophy. Those who wish to pursue work in sum-
mer school looking toward the degree Doctor of Philosophy should
secure information as to requirements from the Graduate Catalogue]
Many research problems can be undertaken to advantage during the
summer season, particularly in agriculture and the sciences most
closely related to agriculture.

COLLEGIATE INSTRUCTION
The subjects described below are selected from those offered
during the other quarters of the college year. They are taught by
members of the regular college faculty. The descriptions are quoted
from the regular College catalog. Other subjects may be offered
when requested by a sufficient number of students.
Inasmuch as subjects taught during the Summer Session are com-
pleted in a six weeks' term, it is necessary in each subject to double
the number of class and laboratory periods required in the other
quarters. The number for the Summer Session is indicated in each
subject description.
Eight or nine credits per term constitutes full work. The abso-
lute maximum credits for which any student may register during
either term is ten, and then only upon previous demonstration of
exceptional ability.
Teachers of vocational subjects in high schools will note that
attendance through an entire Summer Session (two terms) will
enable one to secure sixteen to eighteen credits in agriculture, home
economics or trades and industries. In agriculture any combination
of animal husbandry, agricultural engineering, dairy, farm crops,
farm management, poultry, horticulture or soils is acceptable and
all of this is the right type for the prospective high school teacher.
The reasonably small units of specialized work are considered
much more desirable than courses in general agriculture. The
schedule is so arranged as to avoid conflict and enable the student
to carry the full amount of agriculture during the first and second
halves of the summer school.

AGRICULTURE
X6. At this time there is a demand for very specialized training along
certain lines, such as poultry raising, beekeeping, fruit growing, meat
cutting and others. This demand comes largely from students disabled
in war service, and who, at Government expense are being taught a
new vocation.
Through the medium of this project, highly specialized and practical
work may be given. This work may be extended over a number of
quarters provided a designating letter follows — thus, Ag. N6a, Ag. N6b
poultry, Ag. N6c poultry represents three quarters work. Where such
a project is arranged for in advance, and where all records are carefully
kept and a full report made, credit varying from one to ten hours, will
-ranted. Where the student is carrying on such a project or practical
work at this institution under the dierction of an instructor a laboratory
fee not to exceed $7.50 per summer term may be charged. 1st and 2d
